Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal at Watford on 4 and 5 June 2019 dismissed the claimant’s wrongful dismissal claim, which was framed as a claim for notice pay. It found that the claimant, Mr B Ibrahim, had been procedurally unfairly dismissed by Vatan Catering Limited.

On remedy, the tribunal found there was an 80% chance that the claimant would have been fairly dismissed if the procedural unfairness had been cured. It also found that the claimant contributed 100% to his own dismissal. For that reason, it held that it was not just and equitable to compensate the claimant.

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.
