Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningDiamond Bus (North West) Limited failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge KM Ross therefore proceeded under Rule 21 and determined the claim without a merits hearing. The listed hearing on 17 July 2024 was cancelled. Mr N Bassi was awarded a total of £14,827.50.
The basic award was calculated using 17 completed years of service, a weekly pay figure of £521, and an age of 62 at the effective date of termination. On that basis, the tribunal applied 1.5 weeks' pay for each completed year of service and arrived at a basic award of £13,285.50.
The compensatory award was £1,542.00. That consisted of £1,042.00 for past loss of earnings, described as two weeks' gross pay, and £500.00 for loss of statutory rights.

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.
