Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals on 2 November 2023. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time and Employment Judge M Butler made a determination under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 (default judgment).
The Tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed by Wayfair (UK) Limited and ordered a basic award of £2,893.50 and a compensatory award of £9,469.55, together with £1,200 for loss of pension contributions, £384 for loss of private medical care premiums and £540 for loss of private mobile phone costs.
The total amount payable was £14,937.05. (The compensatory award figure in the remedies block aggregates the £9,469.55 compensatory award with the loss-of-benefit components, since the schema has no separate field for those.)

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.
