Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs H Stokes succeeded in her unfair dismissal claim against WH Investments Ltd t/a Victoria House Care Home. Employment Judge Horne found that, had the respondent acted fairly, there was a 50% chance the claimant would have been dismissed on 18 February 2019. The tribunal also found that, if she had not been dismissed, she would inevitably have remained absent on sick leave until the termination of her employment.
The tribunal awarded a basic award of £344.25 and a compensatory award of £146.30. It reduced both awards by 50% to reflect the claimant’s contributory conduct, leaving a total award of £490.55.
The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to provide an itemised pay statement for the pay received on 5 March 2019. It recorded that the particulars contained in the statement given on 24 October 2019 were the particulars that should have been included in that earlier statement. Permission was refused to amend the claim to include unlawful deduction from wages.

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.
