Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent, the tribunal recorded that the claimant's complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded. It ordered the respondent to pay £2,692.28 as damages for four weeks' pay, calculated on a gross basis because the tribunal considered the claimant was likely to have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
By consent, the tribunal also recorded that the unfair dismissal complaint was well-founded. It awarded a basic award of £2,019.21 and a compensatory award of £5,301.13, and stated that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, so the compensatory award was increased by 10% under section 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The tribunal noted that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 applied. It recorded the total monetary award for unfair dismissal as £7,320.34, with a prescribed element of £4,319.00 covering the period from 29 May 2024 to 24 March 2025, and a difference of £3,001.34. The separate complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was dismissed because the tribunal found that the respondent had not made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages.

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.
