Mr Lee Braddock
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe administrators of the respondent consented to the claim proceeding. The tribunal held that Mr Lee Braddock's complaint of unfair(constructive) dismissal under ss.95 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded and that he had been unfairly dismissed. It awarded a basic award of £1,929, recording that he was over 41 when dismissed, had 2 years' service, and that his gross pay exceeded the statutory maximum, so the basic award was calculated as £643 x 1.5 x 2.
The tribunal also upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of one month's gross pay in lieu of notice, £5,416.64. The written decision included the standard interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that the relevant decision day was 31 March 2026, the calculation day was 1 April 2026, and the stipulated rate was 8% per annum.

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.
