Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Phil Allen entered judgment under Rule 21. The tribunal found that Mr C Gaze had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered Innovative Electrical Solutions Limited to pay £2,387.35 in damages. That sum included a 25% uplift because the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and stated that his claim was well-founded and succeeded. In consequence, it awarded a basic award of £1,614 and a compensatory award of £1,102.48. The compensatory award also included a 25% uplift for the respondent's unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS code.
The judgment recorded a prescribed amount of £381.98 and a prescribed period from 30 September 2020 to 31 October 2020. It stated that the total amount awarded for both breach of contract and unfair dismissal was £5,103.83, and that the difference between the total awards and the prescribed amount, £4,721.85, should be paid to the claimant without delay. The hearing listed for 27 July 2021 was cancelled.

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.
