Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Manchester, before Employment Judge Batten sitting with L Hopley and B Rowen, recorded unanimous findings on the claimant's complaints against Ryecourt Limited. The complaint of constructive unfair dismissal was found well-founded and succeeded. The disability discrimination complaint failed and was dismissed, and the complaint of detriment for making a protected disclosure also failed and was dismissed.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages in the gross sum of £3,750.00 in respect of accrued untaken holiday entitlement. It also ordered the respondent to pay the claimant 4 weeks' pay for failing to provide a written statement of particulars of employment in accordance with section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, although the written judgment does not state the monetary figure for that award.
The written record notes that a separate hearing to determine remedy was listed for 15 June 2023, so no final overall award is set out in this decision. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and are not included in the written record provided here.

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.
