Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Lincoln on 26 May 2022, Employment Judge Heathcote sitting alone found that Mr J Purdy had been unfairly dismissed by Jewsons Ltd. The respondent did not enter an appearance and did not attend. For the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal ordered £5,913.46, comprising a basic award of £5,538.46, £300 for loss of statutory rights, and a £75 ACAS uplift on that head.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without the full period of notice to which he was entitled. It ordered damages of £461.54 gross, subject to tax and national insurance contributions.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining claims. It found that the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment, that the claim for outstanding holiday pay was not well founded, and that the claim for unauthorised deduction from wages was not well founded.

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.
