Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought complaints of unfair dismissal and discrimination arising from disability against the respondent. The tribunal (a three-member panel sitting in Manchester over three days) upheld the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed the discrimination arising from disability claim.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded compensation of £8,013.89, comprising a basic award of £693 (a calculated figure of £924 reduced by 25% on the basis that the claimant's pre-dismissal conduct made it just and equitable to reduce it) and a compensatory award of £7,320.89. The compensatory award comprised a prescribed element of £6,752.14 (loss of earnings for 31 July 2023 to 15 February 2024) and a non-prescribed element of £568.75 (loss of statutory rights and pension loss). Both elements were first uplifted by 15% to reflect the respondent's failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary Procedures, then reduced by 25% on the basis that the dismissal was caused or contributed to by the claimant's actions.
The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply: the prescribed element is £6,752.14 (period 31 July 2023 to 24 September 2025); the difference between the total award and the prescribed element is £1,261.78. Written reasons were not produced as the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
