Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Manchester on 2 March 2020, Employment Judge Howard held that Ms C de Paul Abbott's claims of automatically unfair dismissal under s.103A ERA 1996 and detriment for making a public interest disclosure under s.47B ERA 1996 succeeded. Her wrongful dismissal claim also succeeded. The claim for unlawful deduction from wages was dismissed upon withdrawal. The respondent was YDP Solutions Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation) and did not attend.
The tribunal awarded £22,904 in total. The award was broken down as a compensatory award of £12,696 based on 52 weeks' net pay of £276, after deduction of six weeks' paid notice of £1,656, injury to feelings of £8,000, loss of statutory rights of £552, and wrongful dismissal notice pay of £1,656.
The recoupment notice stated a grand total of £13,248, a prescribed element of £12,696 for the period 8 February 2019 to 7 February 2020, and an excess over the prescribed element of £552. The written notice also recorded that the interest rate applicable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was 8%.

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.
