Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Glasgow hearing on 30 August 2024, Employment Judge M Whitcombe heard sworn evidence from Ms M A Simm. The respondent did not appear and presented no response or other application. Oral reasons were given at the end of the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It awarded a basic award of £16,146.00, calculated on the basis of 18 years' continuous service at 1.5 weeks' gross pay for each year and a weekly rate of £608, and a compensatory award of £3,940.34 for net losses to the date of the hearing. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had not claimed any relevant state benefits, so there would be no recoupment under the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996.
The complaint of disability discrimination also succeeded. The tribunal awarded £10,512.87 for injury to feelings, including £512.87 interest. It further found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages in relation to the payment due for untaken paid annual leave on termination and ordered payment of £962.50 gross, or the net equivalent, to the claimant.

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.
