Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Miller, sitting with Mr N Pearse and Mr John Howarth, found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015. It was just and equitable to increase the compensatory award by 25% under s.207A TULRCA 1992.
The respondent was ordered to pay a basic award of £352 and a compensatory award of £2,857. In addition, under s.38 Employment Act 2002, the Tribunal awarded £352 (two weeks' gross pay) because at the start of proceedings the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of particulars. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply: total monetary award £3,911.50, prescribed element £1,936 (period 2 December 2023 to 11 March 2025).
The complaint of direct disability discrimination was not well-founded and was dismissed.

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.
