Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the effective date of termination was 29 March 2024, modified under s97(2) Employment Rights Act 1996 because the claimant had not been given notice of dismissal as required by s86 ERA 1996. On that basis, the claimant had the requisite qualifying service to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal complaint, and the unfair dismissal claim was upheld.
The judgment records an unfair dismissal award of £21,091.97. It states that the award included a basic award of £1,187.88, a compensatory award of £17,821.90, an ACAS uplift of £1,782.19, and £300 for loss of statutory rights. Recoupment provisions applied to the prescribed element of £17,821.90, and the remainder of £6,156.41 was ordered to be paid within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.
The holiday pay claim was upheld for £1,698.46, said to represent 163 hours of accrued but untaken holiday during the period 1 April 2023 to 31 December 2023. The notice pay claim was also upheld for £395.96, being one week's gross pay not otherwise included in the unfair dismissal compensatory award. The tribunal further awarded £791.92, equal to two weeks' pay, for failure to provide a written statement of particulars of employment.
The marriage discrimination claim was dismissed on withdrawal.

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.
