Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Hansford brought a claim of unfair dismissal against MacLean Data Comms Limited. Employment Judge P Britton, sitting alone at Nottingham by Cloud Video Platform on 19 January 2021, held that the dismissal was procedurally unfair, so the claim succeeded.
The judgment records that, having concluded by reference to Polkey v A E Dayton Services Limited 1988 ICR 142 HL that the outcome would have been the same and at the same time even if a fair procedure had been followed, and noting that the claimant had already received his statutory redundancy payment, the tribunal made no further award.

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.
