Mr B Balasubramaniam
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr B Balasubramaniam's role was genuinely redundant, but that his dismissal was procedurally unfair because the respondent should have communicated more openly, discussed any vacancies it had, and not made assumptions for or about him. The unfair dismissal award recorded one month's net pay of £1,833.04 and £500 for loss of statutory rights, making £2,333.04 on that claim.
The claimant also succeeded on the balance of two weeks' notice pay, which was awarded at £1,153.85 gross, and on a further claim for 20% of his net monthly salary for four months, described as the balance of the payment paid to him under the CJRS, in the sum of £1,466.40. The remaining claims were dismissed, and the total award was £4,953.29.

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.
