Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing on 23-24 March 2022 before Employment Judge Dunlop, with Ms L Hopley and Ms M Dowling sitting as members, the tribunal held that Miss B Naughton had been unfairly dismissed by Mrs Maria Nwoji. It made no basic award because the claimant had already received a redundancy payment, but it awarded a compensatory award of £1,004 consisting of £392.40 for three weeks' loss of earnings, £350 for loss of statutory rights, and £261.60 for an additional two weeks' pay under s.38 Employment Act 2020 for failure to provide a statement of particulars of employment.
The tribunal also found that the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages succeeded in part and awarded £292.76 for the outstanding underpayment from the commencement of lockdown to dismissal. The claim for accrued untaken annual leave succeeded and the tribunal awarded £261.60, calculated as 10 days' holiday on the basis of 3-hour days.
The claimant's disability discrimination claim was withdrawn at the outset of the hearing and dismissed upon withdrawal. The remaining claims, including notice pay and redundancy pay, did not succeed. The total amount payable was £1,558.36, and the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply.

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.
