Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr T Penfold's claim of unfair dismissal against Riddwood Consulting Engineers Ltd was heard at Watford by CVP on 31 August 2021 before Employment Judge Shastri-Hurst sitting alone. The respondent did not attend.
The tribunal held that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was well-founded and succeeded. No written reasons were provided because reasons had been given orally at the hearing and no request for written reasons was made within the stated time limit.
The judgment did not determine compensation. Instead, it stated that the claimant's remedy would be decided at a remedy hearing, at which the respondent could participate to the extent permitted by the Employment Judge on that occasion.

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.
