Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Dobbie at Cambridge on 23 April 2025 heard the claim with the claimant represented by Ms M Bouffé (Counsel) and the respondent failing to attend.
The Tribunal upheld the constructive unfair dismissal claim and awarded a basic award of £13,500 and a compensatory award of £1,302.10, totalling £14,802.10. The recoupment provisions did not apply because the claimant did not claim benefits and started a new job just over a week after termination. Claims for unlawful deduction from wages (£913.17 net) and accrued untaken annual leave (£720 gross) were also upheld.
The notice pay claim was upheld in principle but no further damages were due. Reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
