Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Lymar was employed by K & D Joinery Ltd from 10 June 2004 until his dismissal on 11 September 2020. He brought claims for unfair dismissal and breach of contract. The tribunal found that the reason for dismissal was the two conduct allegations arising from May 2020 CCTV footage and allegations that he was doing personal projects during working time, not the Claimant's February 2020 correspondence about a claimed 2009 CNC agreement or his furlough-related queries.
Claims and outcomes
2 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unfair dismissal | Claim upheld on liability only. The tribunal held the Respondent dismissed the Claimant for conduct reasons, but the procedure was unfair. It later found that Polkey and contributory conduct reductions of 100% meant no compensation was payable. | Upheld | — | £0 |
| Breach of contract | Withdrawn at the hearing after the Claimant chose not to pursue it in the Tribunal because of the £25,000 damages limit and the possibility of pursuing it in the civil courts. The judgment states that the claim was dismissed on withdrawal. | Withdrawn | — | — |

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.
