Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting alone, upheld Mr R Potts's unfair dismissal claim against J and J Stanley Limited and ordered the respondent to pay a basic award of £1,575 and a compensatory award of £27,713.66. The compensatory award was made up of £500 for loss of statutory rights, £20,594.28 for compensatory loss to the date of the hearing, £3,004.56 for compensatory loss from 7 November 2020 to 6 May 2021, and a 15% uplift of £3,614.82 for unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice.
The tribunal declared that, for recoupment purposes, the prescribed period was 6 December 2019 to 6 November 2020 and the prescribed amount was £3,560. It recorded that the balance of the compensatory award payable to the claimant was £24,153.66.
The claim of wrongful dismissal was found not well founded and dismissed. The claim in respect of holiday pay was also found not well founded and dismissed. No separate reasoning for those dismissed claims is set out in the short reasons section beyond those findings.

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.
