DCS Multiserve Limited was ordered to pay the claimant a redundancy payment of £7,350. The tribunal also made a compensatory award for unfair dismissal of £500, limited to loss of employment rights only, and stated that no other compensation was due.

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.
