Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed K Smith's complaint of unfair dismissal, finding that it was not well founded. The written judgment records no further reasons for that outcome; summary reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The Tribunal upheld the complaint of wrongful dismissal, namely that UK Direct Business Solutions Limited breached the claimant's contract of employment by terminating it without notice. The respondent was ordered to pay the agreed sum of £11,952.93, comprising £10,000 in damages and £1,952.93 in interest.

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.
