Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Anderson, sitting alone, gave judgment that Mr Farquhar was constructively unfairly dismissed. The tribunal awarded a basic award of £6,073.76 and a compensatory award for past loss of £1,060.66, and stated that recoupment did not apply.
The tribunal also found that Lunar Automotive Limited unlawfully deducted sums from the claimant's wages between 1 September 2020 and 17 December 2020, awarding £5,767.36 on a gross basis. It further awarded £37.38 on a gross basis for unpaid holiday.
A separate claim concerning contributions paid but allegedly not attributed to a pension scheme was stayed until further notice. The written judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested.

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.
