Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mrs L Capeling brought two whistleblowing claims against TFX Group Limited: a complaint of automatic unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and a complaint that she had been subjected to detriments on the ground that she had made protected disclosures under section 47B of the same Act. The tribunal sat at Teesside CFCTC before Employment Judge Johnson with members Mr G Gallagher and Miss B Kirby.

The tribunal unanimously held that both complaints were not well founded and were dismissed. The judgment does not set out any separate monetary award or remedy, and no compensation is recorded in the extracted decision text.

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.
