Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Serr found Mrs T Mellor's unfair dismissal claim well founded and held that she had been unfairly dismissed by Icon Group Services (in creditors voluntary liquidation). The respondent was ordered to pay a basic award of £4,125 and a compensatory award of £6,000.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was also well founded. The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction during the period from 17 September 2024 to 22 October 2024 and awarded the gross sum of £1,250, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance due.
The breach of contract complaint concerning notice pay was well founded, and the tribunal awarded £1,250 in damages. That sum was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. The total award was £12,625, and the recoupment provisions did not apply.

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.
