Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Nottingham on 10 September 2020, Employment Judge Rachel Broughton sat alone and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal dismissed Mrs Kathryn McKeown's complaint of automatic unfair dismissal under section 104 Employment Rights Act 1996, brought as an assertion of a statutory right claim.
The tribunal upheld the ordinary unfair dismissal complaint under section 98 Employment Rights Act 1996 and found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It recorded that no deduction was appropriate from the basic or compensatory awards.
The respondent was ordered to pay a basic award of £1,458 and a compensatory award of £16,095.22. The compensatory award included £450 for loss of statutory rights and a 20% ACAS uplift. The Recoupment Regulations were applied, with a prescribed element of £15,645.22 and a balance of £1,908.

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.
