Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting before Employment Judge S Knight at East London Hearing Centre on 13 and 14 May 2021, found that Mr Gnanapragasan Jayachandran unfairly dismissed Mr C Perumal. It also found that the respondent failed to allow the claimant to take breaks in accordance with regulation 12(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, made unauthorised deductions from his wages, and failed to provide itemised pay statements.
The judgment records a monetary award of £4,261.61 in total. That figure is comprised of £3,628.64 for unfair dismissal, £106.73 for the working time claim relating to breaks, and £526.24 for unauthorised deductions from wages.
For the purposes of the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996, the tribunal stated that the total monetary award for unfair dismissal was £3,628.64. It identified a prescribed element of £173.04 for the period 7 July 2019 to 14 May 2021, and said the amount by which the total monetary award exceeded the prescribed element was £3,455.60.
The finding on itemised pay statements did not carry a separate sum in the judgment. The written reasons supplied in the extracted text are limited to the liability findings and the figures set out in the judgment, without further explanation of the factual basis beyond those recorded outcomes.

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.
