Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed, sitting alone, found that Mrs V Chambers was unfairly dismissed by Sports and Leisure Management Ltd. The tribunal also found contributory conduct by the claimant and directed that both the basic and compensatory awards be reduced by 50%.
The tribunal made no reduction for Polkey. It further recorded that the compensatory award should be increased by 10% for an unreasonable failure to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. The issue of remedy was listed for a further hearing on 22 January 2021, so this judgment records liability and adjustment directions rather than a final monetary award.

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.
