Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found Mr S Thom's unfair dismissal claim well-founded against Greater Manchester Buses South Ltd t/a Stagecoach Manchester. It reduced both unfair dismissal awards by 75% because of the claimant's conduct prior to dismissal, then awarded a basic award of £1,097.25 and a compensatory award of £50 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well-founded. It awarded damages for breach of contract of £3,159.37, made up of 6 weeks and 4 days of gross pay at £462.00 per week plus £123.38 for pension loss in that period. The judgment recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply because there was no award for loss of earnings, and that the contract damages were awarded gross because they counted as Post-Employment Notice Pay. The total award was £4,306.62.

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.
