Mr A Kirkman
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mr A Kirkman was unfairly dismissed by the first respondent, Rigby’s Executive Coaches Ltd, because he made protected disclosures of information. It awarded a compensatory award of £8,503.32 and stated that he was not entitled to a basic award. The tribunal also recorded that the Recoupment Provisions did not apply.
In addition to the dismissal finding, the tribunal found that the first respondent failed to pay notice and ordered payment of £410.16 net. It also found that £410.16 net was due in respect of holiday accrued but not taken or paid on termination of employment.
The tribunal further found that the first respondent had failed to provide a written statement of terms and conditions of employment and ordered payment of £2,000, described as four weeks' pay. It also found an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £174 net.

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.
