Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal sat at Manchester by CVP before Employment Judge Cookson sitting alone. The judgment was on liability only, with reasons given orally at the hearing.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was not unfairly dismissed in accordance with s95(1) of the Employment Rights Act, so the unfair dismissal claim was not upheld and was dismissed.
The Tribunal also found that the claimant was wrongfully dismissed and was entitled to damages for breach of contract. The written judgment does not set out any damages figure or remedy breakdown.

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.
