Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting as Employment Judge A Close by CVP on 9 and 10 October 2025, found Mr Joshua Thompson's complaint of unfair dismissal against MXTreality Limited to be well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay a compensatory award of £2,281.83.
On the contractual claims, the Tribunal dismissed the claimant's breach of contract complaint in relation to profit share as not well-founded, but upheld his breach of contract claim concerning the respondent's failure to pay backdated pay in June 2024 and ordered the respondent to pay £2,500 gross, with the expectation that tax would be deducted before payment.
The Tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to provide payslips between August and November 2024 contrary to section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and this claim succeeded. The claimant's claims for a statutory redundancy payment and for contractual bonus entitlements were withdrawn and accordingly dismissed.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.
