Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge S. Matthews found the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal to be well-founded and held that she had been unfairly dismissed. The tribunal also found that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015, making it just and equitable to increase the compensatory award by 20% under s.207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The compensatory award was calculated as loss of net earnings (£21,832.16), loss of pension (£491.84) and loss of statutory rights (£700), totalling £23,024, less a PILON deduction of £4,118.40, giving £18,905.60. After applying the 20% ACAS uplift the figure was £22,686.72, which was then reduced by the statutory cap of 12 months' gross earnings to £17,846.40. With the basic award of £9,094.80 added, the total monetary award was £26,941.20, of which £17,002.44 was the prescribed element for recoupment purposes covering the period 17 May 2024 to 30 May 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.
