Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe unanimous Tribunal, sitting at London East before Employment Judge B Beyzade with members Mrs M Legg and Mr P Lush, considered two complaints brought by Mr Benmark Osuigwe against Time4U Group Limited. The Tribunal dismissed the claimant's complaint of automatically unfair dismissal under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, finding it was not well founded.
The Tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal contrary to sections 94 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The claimant was awarded a total of £12,518.78, comprising a basic award of £3,751.20, a compensatory award of £8,267.58, and £500.00 for loss of statutory rights. The Tribunal recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 do not apply.
The judgment as extracted does not set out the underlying factual findings or the Tribunal's reasoning, so the basis for the section 94/98 finding and the rejection of the section 103A claim are not detailed in the available text.

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.
