Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which the tribunal recorded that Mr A Gluszkowski’s claims against Born & Bread Limited were well founded. The tribunal found that the respondent dismissed the claimant in breach of contract and ordered damages of £3,602.07. It also found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay was well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1,600.95 gross.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It awarded a basic award of £5,403.20 and a compensatory award of £3,373.93, making a total unfair dismissal award of £8,777.13. The judgment does not set out detailed reasons for those findings beyond the Rule 21 outcome.
The recoupment regulations were applied to the unfair dismissal award. The prescribed element was stated to relate to the period from 27 January 2020 to 25 March 2020 and was fixed at £3,373.93. The total monetary award under the judgment was £13,980.15, and the amount by which that total exceeded the prescribed element was £10,606.22.

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.
