Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Ms D Towle’s unfair dismissal claim under Part X of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in proceedings against Hollin Primary School and Rochdale Borough Council. Judge Cowx, sitting alone at Manchester from 22 to 25 June 2026, found that she had been unfairly dismissed. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; the written judgment does not set out the underlying facts or reasoning.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Ms Towle £62,470.73, without breaking the award into components or specifying how liability was allocated between the two respondents. The accompanying notice states that interest accrues at 8% per annum from 6 August 2026, unless the award is paid in full within 14 days after the written decision was sent on 5 August 2026. No quantified interest award is recorded.

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.
