Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present an ET3 response to the claim by 23 July 2019. On that basis, the tribunal entered judgment in the claimant's favour on the unfair dismissal claim.
The judgment records only the liability outcome. It states that the claimant's claim for unfair dismissal succeeds, but it does not set out findings on the facts of the dismissal or any substantive defence because no response was filed.
Compensation was not determined in this judgment. The 1-day final hearing listed for 31 October 2019 was converted into a 2-hour hearing at 10 am to assess the compensation due to the claimant.

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.
