Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn the claimant’s application for reconsideration, the tribunal varied its 18 May 2021 judgment in a number of factual and monetary respects. It corrected the claimant’s address from “Curtland” to “Kirkland”, accepted that his average gross commission was £231.98 and that his average net weekly pay including commission was £502.75, and found that his sick absence began a week after the demotion on 15 July 2019 rather than during 11 to 14 July.
The reconsideration did not disturb the underlying outcomes. The unfair dismissal award was reduced from £19,326 to £16,068.75, with the compensatory element revised from £15,826 to £12,568.75. The tribunal also replaced the breach-of-contract damages figure with £247.99, made up of £15.40 basic pay, £0.61 pension and £231.98 commission, after holding that the contract contained no term permitting a reduction in pay or demotion in the circumstances and that the breach was outstanding on termination.

| Breach of contract | The tribunal held that the claimant’s contract contained no term permitting a reduction in pay or demotion in the circumstances, and that the demotion was therefore in breach of contract.

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.
