Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found Mr A. Gomes da Costa's claim of unfair dismissal well founded because his dismissal by WM Morrison Ltd was procedurally unfair. It found that, had the respondent followed a fair procedure, there was a 90% chance that the claimant would have been dismissed.
The tribunal found the complaint of victimisation not well founded and dismissed it. The written judgment records no monetary award or remedy breakdown, and the tribunal's 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.
