Mr M Patel
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge T Brown, found that Mr M Patel was unfairly dismissed on 21 December 2020. It also found that his summary dismissal was in breach of contract.
By consent, the basic award for unfair dismissal was assessed at £968.40. Damages for breach of contract were also assessed by consent at £6,484.86.
The tribunal recorded that any compensatory award was extinguished by the award of damages for breach of contract, and that no further sum was payable. The total monetary outcome recorded in the judgment was therefore £7,453.26.

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.
