Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Manchester by video platform before Employment Judge Batten sitting alone, recorded an oral judgment on 1 December 2023. It found that the claimant had been constructively unfairly dismissed and awarded a basic award of £6,220.80. No compensatory award was made.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £537.60 gross. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's accrued unused holiday entitlement due on termination and ordered payment of £1,641.60 gross.
In addition, the tribunal found a breach of section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide a written statement of particulars of employment, and ordered payment of £2,073.60, described as 4 weeks' pay for that default. The record notes that interest is governed by the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, with the relevant decision day as 5 December 2023 and the stipulated rate as 8% per annum, but no separate interest sum is stated in the judgment.

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.
