Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Murdoch found Ms V Phillips's complaint of unfair dismissal under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996 well-founded. G1 Design Limited was ordered to pay a basic award of £1,500, calculated using gross weekly pay of £500 and a multiplier of three. The compensatory award was £0 after a 100% Polkey reduction. The tribunal stated that the basic award was effectively the same as the redundancy award and therefore did not consider a redundancy award separately.
The tribunal also upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from pay concerning six weeks of wages from 1 November to 15 December 2023 and awarded £3,000. It upheld the breach-of-contract complaint concerning four weeks of contractual notice pay and awarded £2,000. The complaint concerning accrued but unpaid holiday under the Working Time Regulations 1998 was well-founded, resulting in an award of £1,300 for 13 days. The total gross award was £7,800. The recoupment regulations did not apply because the claimant had not received State benefits.

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.
