Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Liverpool on 3 July 2023, before Employment Judge Buzzard with lay members M Plimley and J Murdie, the respondent did not appear. The tribunal recorded that the unfair dismissal, unpaid notice and public interest disclosure detriment claims were not contested and therefore succeeded.
The tribunal ordered £7,021.16 for unfair dismissal, made up of £6,250 loss of pay, £173.13 loss of pension contributions and £598 loss of childcare benefit. It also ordered £1,442.31 for unpaid notice, described as three weeks' gross pay, and £7,500 for injury to feelings on the public interest disclosure detriment claim.
The claim for unpaid holiday pay was dismissed because it was not supported by the evidence presented. The written record also included the standard interest notice, stating that interest would accrue at 8% per annum from 11 July 2023 if sums remained unpaid after 14 days.

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.
