Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Winfield, sitting alone at CVP on 14-16 July 2025, found that the claimant Mr David Squibb was constructively unfairly dismissed by Lidl Great Britain Limited.
The Tribunal reduced the basic award payable to the claimant by 100% under section 122(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 on the basis that it was just and equitable to do so because of the claimant's conduct before the dismissal. The compensatory award was reduced by 95% on Polkey principles for contributory fault. No other adjustments were made.
The compensatory award was calculated by reference to two months gross salary (£2,132), two months loss of pension (£212.90) and £350 for loss of statutory rights (totalling £2,694.90), less the 95% reduction, giving a final award of £134.75. Reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
