Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Gillian Bevan succeeded in her unfair dismissal claim against Michael Bailey Estate Agent Ltd. The tribunal found the claim well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £25,679.25, made up of a £1,713 basic award and £23,966.25 in compensation, the latter being £19,173 uplifted by 25% by way of the ACAS uplift.
The tribunal also found the complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages/breach of contract in respect of commission and expenses well founded. It awarded £2,335.46, described as £1,868.37 uplifted by 25% by way of the ACAS uplift, comprising £832.07 due under clause 7 of the statement of terms and conditions, £830.30 unpaid fuel expenses, and £206 for sundries.
The total award recorded by the tribunal was £28,014.71. The judgment also states that, under rule 39(5)(b), the deposit was to be paid to the claimant because each specific argument had been decided against the respondent for substantially the same reasons as in the deposit order.

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.
