Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningHearing in Manchester before Employment Judge Leach over two days. The claimant succeeded on her unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal complaints; the holiday pay sum was agreed by the respondent. The unauthorised deductions claim and the failure-to-provide-written-reasons claim were dismissed. Direct and indirect sex discrimination claims were dismissed on withdrawal by the claimant.
On wrongful dismissal, the claimant was dismissed on 22 January 2024 and fully mitigated her loss from 18 February 2024, so the claim was limited to 4 weeks' loss at the agreed gross rate of £131.53 per week. The judgment records the wrongful dismissal award as £512.12. On unfair dismissal, the agreed basic award was £1,315.30 (10 complete years of service x £131.53), plus a compensatory award of £500 for loss of statutory rights only.
The holiday pay sum of £123.40 (gross) was agreed. The total amount the respondent was ordered to pay was £2,450.82. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not produced.

| Wrongful dismissal | 4 weeks' notice pay (limited by full mitigation from 18 February 2024). Judgment states the sum as £512.12 (the arithmetic '131.53 x 4 = 512.12' in the judgment appears to contain a transcription error but the figure of £512.12 is the figure ordered and is consistent with the judgment's total of £2,450.82). | Upheld | — | £512 |
| Sex discrimination | Direct and indirect sex discrimination claims dismissed on being withdrawn by the claimant. | Withdrawn | Sex | — |

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.
