Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 liability-only judgment in which Employment Judge Postle found the claimant’s claims well founded against North Norfolk Limited. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been automatically unfairly dismissed under regulation 7(1) of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 and also unfairly dismissed under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal also found that the claimant had been subjected to direct discrimination because of disability under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010. In addition, it found a failure to inform and consult under the TUPE regulations, an unlawful deduction from wages, and a breach of contract.

The judgment is liability only and does not record any remedy, award, or compensation figure. The judgment was sent to the parties and entered in the register on 10 October 2018.

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.
