Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting at Plymouth before Employment Judge Hastie on 17 and 18 December 2025, found that the claimant's claims of discrimination arising from a disability and of unfair dismissal were both well founded and succeeded. The claim was brought by Mr S Hambly in his capacity as executor of the estate of Angela Hambly (deceased) against Bond Oxborough Phillips.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant a total of £29,278.56, comprising a basic award of £873, notice pay of £291, injury to feelings of £25,000, and interest at 8% of £3,114.56. The basic award, notice pay and interest figures were agreed between the parties. The recoupment provisions did not apply as no benefits had been claimed, and the respondent was directed to pay the full balance within 42 days, also by agreement.
The claimant's application for aggravated damages was dismissed, and an award for loss of earnings was not pursued.

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.
