Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Miss Flanagan’s breach-of-contract claim for notice pay succeeded and that she was unfairly dismissed by ZMA Manchester Ltd. It recorded that the unfair dismissal compensation was reduced by 30% under the principles in Polkey v AE Dayton Services Limited 1988 ICR 142.
The tribunal also found that the claimant contributed to her dismissal to the extent of 25%, and that reduction was applied to both the basic award and the compensatory award for unfair dismissal. The judgment records £850 as basic award and £15,573.07 as compensatory award.
The recoupment annex states that the prescribed element ran from 24/09/20 to 7/4/22, with a prescribed element of £12,524.85 and an excess of £3,048.22. It also records the total monetary award as £15,573.07 and gives the interest information as 8% from the calculation day of 4 May 2022 if the award is not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day.

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.
