Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 27 November 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined that the claim could properly be decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The judgment records that the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded, and the respondent was ordered to pay £2,278.52 as damages for breach of contract.
The tribunal also found the unfair dismissal complaint well-founded. It held that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, and increased the compensatory award by 25% under s.207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £3,446.25 gross and a compensatory award of £8,384.95 net, calculated by reference to 17.5 weeks at £479.14 net per week after deducting Job Seekers Allowance. It also awarded £1,621.36 net for loss of earnings from 2 December 2024, £810.68 net for future loss of earnings for up to 26 further weeks, and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The ACAS uplift was recorded as £4,331.35, and the total amount payable under the judgment was £21,373.11.

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.
