Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant’s protected disclosure detriment and dismissal claims were dismissed on withdrawal. It then held that he had standing to bring a claim under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and that the claim was well founded.
The respondent was ordered to pay remuneration for a protected period of 90 days beginning on 28 May 2022, in the sum of £12,975. The judgment does not set out further reasoning on the protective award beyond the standing finding and the order itself.
The tribunal also upheld the unlawful deductions claim, awarding £13,843.54 gross for ordinary pay and £5,779.65 for pension contributions. It upheld the breach of contract claim and ordered £1,000 for IT equipment, £215 for health costs, and £4,325.42 gross notice pay, and it found the accrued annual leave claim well founded, awarding £1,397.44 gross.

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.
