Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed Mr A Gadanho da Silva's constructive dismissal claim as not well founded. It also dismissed his claim that Alten Limited breached his contract or made an unauthorised deduction from wages concerning relocation allowance.
The Tribunal upheld the claim concerning travel allowance, expressed in the alternative as breach of contract or unauthorised deduction from wages. Alten Limited was ordered to pay £91.74 and £33.99 for the April 2023 claim, the latter being the applicable converted sum for €39.20, and £1,500 for the January 2024 claim, totalling £1,625.73. The written judgment records that reasons were given orally and does not set out the underlying factual findings or legal test applied.

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.
