Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis is a remedy judgment following earlier liability findings. Employment Judge Welch, sitting alone at Leicester on 27 November 2025 with the consent of the parties, recorded the agreed and awarded sums payable by Juice Creative Design Limited to Mr S Russell-Smith. The claimant was represented by his brother Mr N Russell-Smith and the respondent by Ms L Bairstow of Counsel.
For the unfair (constructive) dismissal claim, the tribunal recorded agreed sums of a basic award of £6,751.00 and a compensatory award of £8,872.00, stated to be the actual amounts payable after any deductions or uplifts. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 were recorded as not applying.
For the failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability claim, the tribunal awarded £20,000.00 as compensation for injury to feelings, together with interest of £4,234.52 calculated in accordance with the Employment Tribunals (Interest on Awards in Discrimination Cases) Regulations 1996. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will only follow on request.

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.
