Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 31 January 2025 at Newcastle/CVP, Employment Judge Booth held that Michael Swallow’s complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that he had been unfairly dismissed by CB Property Solutions Northern Ltd. The tribunal ordered payment of a basic award of £1,680, a compensatory award of £906.58, and £453.29 for loss of statutory rights, all payable within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.
The tribunal also upheld the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that, between 1 June 2024 and 31 July 2024, the respondent made deductions by failing to pay wages and statutory sick pay, and it also failed to pay holiday pay that had accrued but was untaken when the employment ended.
The respondent was ordered to pay £2,426.62 for June 2024, £1,353.50 for July 2024, and £708.96 in respect of holiday pay, also within 14 days. The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for any tax and National Insurance due on the sums payable under paragraphs 5 and 7.

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.
