Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Manchester by CVP on 9 September and 29 October 2021, Employment Judge Sharkett found that Ms C Hawks was unfairly dismissed by Bendles LLP. The judgment records that the claimant contributed to her own dismissal to the extent of 10%.
The tribunal also stated that any compensatory award would be limited to six months post-termination. It further found that the respondent failed to follow a relevant ACAS Code and that a 15% adjustment should be made to the financial award for that failure. The judgment recorded that remedy was yet to be determined, so no final monetary award was set out in this decision.

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.
