Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Annamarie Wheatstone, succeeded in her unfair dismissal claim against the First Respondent, Blakeney News Food and Wine Ltd. The tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay £21,282 in respect of that claim, and the judgment states that this amount included the increase under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide a statement of employment particulars.
The claimant also succeeded in a breach of contract claim against the First Respondent, for which the tribunal awarded damages of £1,129. The claims against the second and third respondents, Mr David Mills and Mrs Wendy Mills, were dismissed.
The judgment was given orally on 13 September 2018 following a hearing on 10, 11, 12 and 13 September 2018 at Bristol. No written reasons were provided in the extracted text, so the judgment records the outcomes and awards but not the tribunal's detailed reasoning.

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.
