Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought complaints of wrongful dismissal, direct age discrimination, harassment related to age, holiday pay, and breach of contract in relation to the grievance procedure. The hearing was held by CVP at Exeter Employment Tribunal on 26, 27 and 28 January 2026 before Employment Judge Volkmer sitting alone, with the Claimant in person and Mr Brian Mitchell (Group Head of Human Resources, lay representative) for the Respondent.
The Tribunal upheld the wrongful dismissal claim and ordered the Respondent to pay the agreed sum of £640 gross. The Tribunal dismissed the complaints of direct age discrimination and harassment related to age as not well-founded. The Respondent conceded the holiday pay claim, with the agreed sum of £214.71 gross ordered to be paid. The complaint of breach of contract relating to the grievance procedure was dismissed for want of jurisdiction because it arose after the date of termination of employment.
All payments were to be made within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties, with the Claimant responsible for any tax payable.

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.
