Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningChoices Healthcare Ltd conceded that Mr N Ngwenya was its employee. The tribunal upheld his complaint of unfair dismissal and found that he had been unfairly dismissed. It also upheld his complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages, finding that the respondent made a deduction between 3 September and 5 November 2023.
The tribunal dismissed the complaints of direct race discrimination, direct sex discrimination and victimisation as not well founded. Summary reasons were given orally, and the written judgment does not record further findings or legal tests concerning those complaints.
The tribunal awarded £30,936.84 in total. This comprised £6,725.40 for 10 weeks of deducted wages at £672.54 per week, a basic award of £2,017.62 based on two complete years of employment and 1.5 weeks' pay for each year, and a compensatory award of £22,193.82 for 43 weeks out of work at £672.54 per week.

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.
