Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Manchester before Employment Judge Ficklin, decided the case on 13 May 2022. The judgment records that the claimant was Mr Stephen Howard and the respondent was Whitefield MOT Centre. Representation was by Mr Stephen Howard for the claimant and Ms Amanda McEwen, lay representative, for the respondent.
The only substantive finding recorded in the written judgment is that the claimant was guilty of gross misconduct. On that basis, the tribunal held that the respondent was entitled to dismiss him without notice. The claim was therefore dismissed.
The judgment states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days. No monetary award is recorded in the written judgment.

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.
