Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Miss Jane Buxton was unfairly dismissed and wrongfully dismissed by Walkdens Newsagents Limited. For unfair dismissal, it ordered payment of £22,942.36, made up of a £12,249.50 basic award and a £10,692.86 compensatory award. It also held that she was wrongfully dismissed and awarded £5,879.76, described as twelve weeks' statutory notice pay.
The tribunal further found an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £1,273.87 for unpaid wages covering 1 to 19 March 2023. It also found that accrued holiday pay had not been paid on termination and awarded £1,714.82. The judgment states there should be no double recovery and that the wrongful dismissal sum is to be offset against the unfair dismissal compensatory award.
The total sum ordered by the tribunal was £25,931.05. The judgment also states that the Recoupment Regulations do 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.
