Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent, the respondent’s name was amended from “Finsbury Food” to Lightbody of Hamilton Limited. The only claim recorded in the judgment was unfair dismissal. Employment Judge M Whitcombe found that Mr O Mcvey was fairly dismissed for misconduct, so the unfair dismissal claim was not well-founded and was dismissed.
The tribunal also recorded that, had any compensation been awarded, it would have been just and equitable to reduce both the basic award and the compensatory award by 100% because of the claimant’s contributory conduct. No compensation was awarded, and no monetary figures were set out in the judgment. Oral reasons were given at the end of 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.
