Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Mensah heard the case remotely on 26 and 27 January 2023. The judgment records that the claimant, Mrs Wendy Luckwell, represented herself and that the respondent did not attend either hearing day. The Tribunal found that the claim for constructive dismissal was made out and succeeded.
The award reflects the claimant’s 34 years of service and age 60 at the date her employment ended. The Tribunal ordered a basic award of £16,048.00 net. It also awarded £38,138.16 net for 12 months’ loss of earnings, stated alternatively as £67,740.00 gross, together with £2,010.00 for employer pension contributions at 3% and £500.00 for loss of statutory rights.
The Tribunal uplifted the compensatory award by 15% to reflect failure to follow the ACAS Code in both the grievance and disciplinary procedures. The total award was £62,416.88 net. The judgment records that the prescribed element for recoupment purposes was £43,858.90 for the period 1 September 2021 to 31 August 2022, with an excess of £5,720.72.

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.
