Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Alan Moore, succeeded in a breach of contract claim against Furniture Transport Solutions Limited. The tribunal found that he was contractually entitled to a minimum of 5 weeks' notice of termination. The respondent terminated his employment without notice and paid only 4 weeks' pay in lieu of notice, so damages for breach of contract were assessed at £550.
The claimant also succeeded in his unfair dismissal claim. The tribunal accepted that the dismissal was for the potentially fair reason of redundancy, but found that the dismissal was unfair. The respondent had already paid the statutory redundancy payment.
Further compensation for unfair dismissal was assessed at a net £3,850, made up of £3,300 net loss of earnings and £550 for loss of statutory rights. The tribunal recorded that the recoupment provisions did not apply to the facts of the claim.

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.
