Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 18 March 2024, Employment Judge Klimov, sitting alone at East London Hearing Centre by video, dealt with the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules after the respondent failed to present a response within the Rule 16 time limit. The respondent’s application for an extension of time under Rule 20 had already been refused at the preliminary hearing held the same day.
The tribunal held that Ms Begum’s complaint of unfair (constructive) dismissal was well-founded. The judgment states that liability was determined without a hearing on the papers under ss. 94, 95(1)(c) and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Compensation for unfair dismissal was not assessed in this judgment. The tribunal said it would be determined at a remedy hearing as part of the final hearing of the consolidated claims listed for 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30 October 2025, if not agreed. The judgment also records that the remaining complaints in the claim would be decided at the final hearing, and that the respondent’s application for reconsideration was refused because there was no reasonable prospect of the judgment being varied or revoked.

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.
