Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant was an employee of the respondent within the meaning of s.230(1) Employment Rights Act 1996, with an effective date of termination of 13 January 2022, and that all of his claims were brought within the relevant limitation periods. The Tribunal held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and ordered the respondent to pay a basic award of £1,904.00 and a compensatory award of £155.35 (net), the latter representing what the claimant would have earned from participating in a consultation process in the lead-up to his dismissal. The Tribunal found that the claimant's dismissal was inevitable even if the respondent had acted fairly, so no further financial compensation was awarded.
The Tribunal also found that the claimant was wrongfully dismissed and ordered the respondent to pay three weeks' wages in respect of the statutory notice period, agreed at £1,224.55 (net). The total compensation payable to the claimant was £3,283.90.
The claimant's claims of disability discrimination and discrimination on the grounds of part-time worker status were found not well-founded and were dismissed.

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.
