Mr A Gibson v Inglis Jane Limited and 1 other — 2023

The tribunal sat at Liverpool on 25-26 October 2023 before Employment Judge Ainscough, Ms H D Price and Mr H Husain. The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The written decision therefore states only the outcomes, not the detailed factual or legal reasoning behind them.

The claimant, Mr A Gibson, brought claims against Inglis Jane Limited and Mr C Everett for unfair dismissal because of a protected disclosure, detriments because of a protected disclosure, and wrongful dismissal. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim and the detriments claim.

The wrongful dismissal claim succeeded. The judgment states that the first respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £25,000. No separate breakdown of that sum is given in the written record, and no other remedy component is recorded.

Because the written decision is limited to the formal outcome, the extraction is confined to the tribunal's stated results: the protected-disclosure unfair dismissal and detriment claims were unsuccessful, and the wrongful dismissal claim was upheld with a £25,000 award against the first respondent.
