Mr D Dolan (in person) For the
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Mr Dolan’s claim that he was unfairly dismissed by M&S Accident Repairs Ltd. It ordered the respondent to pay £4,752 as compensation for unfair dismissal, described as a gross figure to be paid net of tax and national insurance.
In its brief reasons, the tribunal said the sum in the written judgment was lower than the amount announced orally at the hearing and was the correct figure. The reason given was that it reflected the statutory cap on a week’s pay for a basic award. The judgment also records that the recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
