Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Glasgow CVP hearing on 21-23 June 2021, Employment Judge B Beyzade heard Mr Gordon Graham's claims against Derek Bertram Transport Limited. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint as not well founded. It also dismissed the complaint of unlawful deduction from wages in respect of holiday pay as not well founded.
The tribunal found the respondent was in breach of contract because it failed to give the claimant notice of termination of employment. It ordered the respondent to pay £2,000 gross as damages for that breach, subject to tax and national insurance deductions being intimated in writing to the claimant and remitted to HMRC. The claimant's claims for arrears of pay and other payments after termination were withdrawn and dismissed under Rule 52. Oral reasons were given at the hearing and written reasons were not provided in the written record.

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.
