Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs D Duffy succeeded in her unfair dismissal complaint against Central Sunbeds Ltd. The tribunal awarded £7,275.38 compensation for unfair dismissal and stated that the Recoupment Regulations did not apply to that award.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without notice, but it made no award of damages on that head. In addition, it held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant in lieu of holiday accrued but untaken in the period 5 to 22 April 2024, and ordered payment of £64.06.
Finally, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay an additional amount of two weeks' pay, £477.60, for failure to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. The written record also set out that interest would be payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 at 8% per annum if sums remained unpaid after the relevant decision day, but no separate interest sum was quantified in the judgment.

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.
