Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that Mr L Crompton's unfair dismissal claim under sections 94 and 104 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. It found that he was not entitled to a basic award because he had been employed for under a year. The Tribunal awarded a compensatory award of £2,437 net and increased that award by 12.5%, being £305 net, producing a total net award of £2,742.
The Tribunal also found well founded three claims for unauthorised deductions from wages. The Respondent conceded the claim for unpaid holiday pay in the sum of £1,471.24, said to be due under the employment contract and/or the Working Time Regulations 1998. It also conceded claims for unpaid wages for May and June 2021 in the sum of £560.98 and for July 2021 in the sum of £1,833.33.
The Respondent further conceded that it was in breach of contract by dismissing the Claimant without notice, but the Tribunal made no separate award for that element because the amount claimed was extinguished by the unfair dismissal compensatory award. The judgment records that the recoupment regulations applied to the unfair dismissal award, with a prescribed amount of £2,437 for the period 28 July 2021 to 13 September 2021 and an excess of £305.

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.
