Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Adkinson, sitting alone at Leicester on 15-16 December 2025, heard evidence and submissions from the parties and recorded a consent judgment for notice pay of £1,485.76 gross alongside contested findings on the other claims.
The Tribunal dismissed the claimant's complaints that he had been subjected to a detriment for making a protected disclosure and that he had been automatically unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure.
The Tribunal nonetheless upheld the ordinary unfair dismissal claim and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £2,252.44 (loss of earnings £1,745.52, loss of pension contributions £56.92 and compensation for loss of statutory rights £450). With the consent notice pay, the total award is £3,738.20, of which the prescribed element for recoupment purposes is £1,745.52 attributable to 30 November 2023 to 16 December 2025.

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.
