Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard in Liverpool on 16 January 2020 before Employment Judge Benson. The claimant was represented by Mr B Green, volunteer, and the respondent by Mrs M Peckham, solicitor.
The tribunal held that Mr Hornby was not dismissed. On that basis, his unfair dismissal claim failed and was dismissed. The judgment does not set out written reasons, stating that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The claimant's breach of contract claim also failed and was dismissed. No monetary award is recorded in the written judgment, and no separate remedy was identified for either claim.

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.
