Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Kenward, sitting alone in Manchester, found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by Blue Art Limited (in voluntary liquidation), which did not appear at the hearing. The complaint of victimisation by detriment for having made a protected disclosure under section 47B ERA 1996, and the complaint of automatically unfair dismissal under sections 94, 103A and 111 ERA 1996, were both not well-founded and were dismissed.
The respondent was ordered to pay a total of £33,720.12 in compensation, comprising a basic award of £4,200 and a compensatory award of £29,520.12 (a prescribed element of £15,814.65 covering loss of earnings from 6 August 2024 to 1 December 2024, and a non-prescribed element of £13,705.47).
The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply, with the prescribed element period running from 6 August 2024 to 24 October 2025.

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.
