Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place on 1 October 2020 at East London Hearing Centre before Employment Judge G Tobin. The respondent did not attend, and the tribunal proceeded in its absence. The claimant was heard in person. The tribunal recorded that the claimant's claims for a redundancy payment and for her notice period were withdrawn.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed pursuant to section 94 Employment Rights Act 1996. It then awarded compensation in the total sum of £25,190.71. The decision does not record any separate basic award, and the award was expressed as compensation for the unfair dismissal claim.
The compensation was broken down as £20,033.10 for net loss of earnings and contractual benefits, £4,607.61 as the grossed-up amount for tax purposes, £500.00 for loss of statutory rights, and £50.00 for expenses incurred in looking for another job. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
