Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting by video link, unanimously found that Ms E Quested was unfairly dismissed and subjected to detriments, and that the principal reason for both was that she had made protected disclosures. The separate claim that the dismissal and/or detriments were because she asserted a statutory right failed and was dismissed.
The written compensation section states that £12,999.80 was payable forthwith. It lists a basic award of £538.00 and then a compensatory calculation made up of loss of earnings from August 2020 to April 2021 at £1,795.50 per month for 10 months, less mitigated loss of £13,243.20, plus £250 for loss of statutory rights and £7,500 for injury to feelings. The judgment records that the recoupment regulations did not apply.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
