Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting with Employment Judge Aspden and lay members Mrs S Don and Mr J Weatherston, heard the case on 28, 29 and 30 June 2023 and gave a unanimous judgment. It upheld Miss Paton's complaint under section 93 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, finding that Car Land UK Group Limited had failed to give adequate particulars of the reasons for her dismissal in the written statement said to comply with section 92, and ordered payment of £850.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining complaints: a claim that the respondent discriminated against Miss Paton contrary to the Equality Act 2010 by dismissing her, and a claim of unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996. The written record does not identify the equality characteristic relied on or give fuller reasons in writing, and notes that oral reasons were given at the hearing.

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.
