Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remedy hearing on 2 and 3 March 2023 before Employment Judge Cookson, with lay members Mrs A Booth and Mrs C Clover, the tribunal ordered Ibco Limited to pay Mr Q Hussain £37,003.42 within 28 days. The award was made up of compensation for unfair dismissal and injury to feelings for disability discrimination.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal found no net earnings loss and awarded £770 for loss of statutory rights. The basic award was calculated at £2,307.66 but reduced to nil because redundancy pay already awarded totalled £2,307.69. The grossing-up calculation resulted in no amount to be grossed up.
For disability discrimination, the tribunal awarded £12,000 for discrimination during employment under s20/21 of the Equality Act, including failure to make reasonable adjustments, harassment and victimisation, and £18,000 for discrimination on termination by way of victimisation. Interest at 8% for 948 days was added separately to each award, producing interest figures of £2,493.37 and £3,740.05. The total non-financial award was £36,233.42 and the overall award was £37,003.42.

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.
