Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal unanimously found that the respondent was not in breach of contract and that the claimant's claim for constructive unfair dismissal was not well founded. That claim was dismissed.
On the protected disclosure complaints, the tribunal found that the claimant did not raise protected disclosures in 2017 or early 2018, but did make a protected disclosure on 15 March 2018 and another to the Health and Safety Executive on 26 April 2018. The claims for detriment under section 47B and automatic unfair dismissal under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 were not well founded and were dismissed.
The tribunal also found that the claimant did not suffer a breach of contract in respect of notice pay. The wrongful dismissal claim was therefore not well founded and was dismissed.

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.
