Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt with the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the Respondent failed to enter a response. On that basis, the Claimant's complaints that he was unfairly dismissed, that he was dismissed in breach of contract, and that the Respondent had failed to make payments for accrued annual leave all succeeded.

The judgment did not determine remedy. It states that the remedy to which the Claimant was entitled would be decided at a Remedy Hearing listed for 8 October 2019.

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.
