Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the liability hearing on 2 and 3 June 2021, before Employment Judge Ahmed sitting alone, the tribunal held that Miss L Cooke was unfairly dismissed by Keolis Nottingham Trams Ltd. The tribunal also found that the claimant did not contribute to her dismissal.
The judgment applied Polkey v AE Dayton Services Ltd and directed that any compensatory award should be reduced by 50% to reflect the possibility that, had a fair procedure been followed, the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event. No remedy figure was assessed in this judgment because remedy was adjourned to 28 September 2021 for a separate hearing.

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.
