Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Ms B Brown had been unfairly dismissed by Spring Gardens Out of School Club Ltd under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claim succeeded in full.
The tribunal ordered a basic award of £1,630.20 and a compensatory award of £8,100.48. The compensatory award included a 20% uplift under section 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 because the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with paragraphs 12 and 25 to 28 of the ACAS Code of Practice for Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.
The tribunal recorded that the underlying compensatory award before uplift was £6,750.40, with the uplift amount of £1,350.08 included in the total compensatory award. The total monetary award for unfair dismissal was £9,730.68.
The tribunal also noted that the recoupment regulations apply. It stated that the prescribed element was £5,272.24 for the period 23 July 2024 to 27 March 2025, and that the amount by which the monetary award exceeded the prescribed element was £4,458.44.

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.
