Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn a remote hearing at East London on 25 to 27 August 2021, Employment Judge Barrett gave judgment for the claimant, Mr Shujahat Hussain, against Food Containers Manufacturing UK Ltd. The tribunal found that the respondent unfairly dismissed him and also wrongfully dismissed him in breach of his contractual entitlement to notice.
The tribunal further found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and failed to provide him with a written statement of the main terms of his employment. The judgment records liability on each of those claims and does not set out any separate reasoning in the extracted text beyond the conclusions reached.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £29,984.00 in total. That sum comprised £1,661.97 for unauthorised deductions from wages, a basic award of £5,544.35, a compensatory award of £22,144.04 including a 25% uplift for failure to comply with the ACAS Code, and £633.64 for the failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars.

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.
