Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Ms N James’s complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and found that she had been unfairly dismissed. The judgment records no other substantive liability claims.
The tribunal further found that Ms James caused or contributed to the dismissal by blameworthy conduct and said it was just and equitable to reduce the compensatory award payable to her by 10%. The judgment does not fix the compensatory amount itself.
A separate remedy hearing was directed to determine any compensatory award, listed for three hours by CVP. The judgment as provided contains no final monetary award.

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.
