Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal ordered John Lewis PLC to pay Dayanny So a basic award of £2,015.64 and a compensatory award of £4,401.50 in respect of the unfair dismissal claim. The basic award was calculated as 1.5 multiplied by seven years and £388.78, with an adjustment for contributory conduct. The judgment also identified £240 for loss of statutory rights.
The wrongful dismissal claim resulted in an award of £3,265.75, calculated as seven times £388.78 and adjusted for an ACAS uplift. The Tribunal stated that the figures were the sums payable after applicable deductions or uplifts and ordered payment of £9,682.89 in total. That total equals the basic, compensatory and wrongful dismissal awards; accordingly, the separately mentioned £240 appears to be included within the compensatory award rather than added to it.
Summary reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written judgment records no factual findings or legal reasoning concerning the dismissal claims. Although the public listing categorised the case under disability discrimination, this judgment does not record an adjudicated disability discrimination outcome or a corresponding award.

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.
