Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal upheld Kevin Roy Ruxton's complaint of unfair dismissal against Samworth Brothers Limited, finding that he was unfairly dismissed. The judgment records the outcome but does not set out the underlying facts or reasoning because reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a basic award of £8,268.50 and a compensatory award of £17,907.67, totalling £26,176.17. It stated that these were the actual sums payable after any deductions or uplifts had been applied.

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.
