Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mrs P Atkinson was unfairly dismissed by Unisystems Freight (UK) Limited. The hearing was before Employment Judge Russell at East London Hearing Centre on 1 September 2021, and judgment was dated 3 September 2021.
On remedy, the tribunal found that the claimant’s conduct contributed to her dismissal and therefore applied a 65% reduction to the compensatory award only under s.123(6) Employment Rights Act 1996. The basic award was assessed at £1,614, being 2 weeks at the statutory maximum weekly pay figure of £538.
The compensatory award was recorded as £4,147.31 for loss to date, based on 8 months, 3 weeks and 3 days, plus £1,286.50 for 4 months’ future loss, producing a total award of £7,047.81.

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.
