Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mrs Karren Williams was unfairly dismissed by BL & EM Ryder Limited, contrary to s.94 Employment Rights Act 1996, and recorded that the respondent had also breached the ACAS Code of Practice under s.207A Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. The written record does not set out detailed reasons, but it records an award of a basic award of £787.50 and a compensatory award of £1,062.50, made up of £350 for loss of statutory rights, £500 for two weeks' notice pay, and a 25% ACAS uplift of £212.50, giving £1,850 for the unfair dismissal claim.
On the annual leave issue, the tribunal found that the claimant had not been paid her full annual leave entitlement in breach of regulation 13 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It awarded £104 for 2 days' accrued and untaken holiday pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to provide written particulars of employment, contrary to s.1 Employment Rights Act 1996 and in breach of s.38 Employment Act 2002, and awarded £1,000, described as four weeks' wages. The total compensation ordered was £2,954.00. The judgment also includes a notice that interest would become payable if the award was not paid within 14 days, at 8% per annum, but no separate interest sum was quantified in the decision.

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.
