Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed, sitting alone at Leicester on 8 January 2020, found that Miss E Dickson was unfairly dismissed by 4pmates Limited. The written schedule records that she was 48 at the effective date of termination and had 8 years' service. The tribunal assessed a basic award of £4,715.00 and a compensatory award of £15,797.96, producing a total unfair dismissal award of £20,512.96.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract and awarded £2,640.00 net, calculated as eight weeks at her net weekly wage of £330.00. It further ordered £440.08 in respect of an unlawful deduction of wages. The decision states that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseekers Allowance & Income Support) Regulations 1996 apply, with a prescribed element of £17,160.00 for the period 8 July 2019 to 8 January 2020 and an excess of £3,352.96.

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.
