Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ainscough, sitting alone at Manchester on 20 July 2021, found that Mrs L Lewicki's claim of unfair dismissal contrary to section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded. The judgment records a basic award of £6,282.50 and a compensatory award of £10,761.37.
The compensatory award was broken down into £7,804.50 for immediate loss of wages from 27 July 2020 to 20 July 2021, £1,520.87 for future loss of wages from 21 July 2021 to 31 October 2021, and £1,436 for the respondent's failure to provide written particulars of employment. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 applied, with a prescribed element of £7,804.50 and an amount payable to the claimant pending recoupment of £9,957.37.
The tribunal also ordered the respondent to pay £718 for failure to allow the claimant to be accompanied at a disciplinary hearing under section 10 of the Employment Relations Act 1999. The total award was £17,761.87. The written record states that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would only be provided on request.

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.
