Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Tsamados (sitting alone) heard this matter at London South in public, by CVP, on 28 October 2025. The claimant Mr Justin Cooper appeared in person; the respondent (R & M Contractors Ltd) did not attend and was not represented.
The Tribunal found the claimant had been unfairly dismissed and was entitled to compensation of £8,250 (basic award £5,250 calculated by reference to his age of 54 at the effective date of termination, the maximum statutory week's pay of £700, 5 complete years' service and a multiplier of 7.5; compensatory award of £2,500 for qualification fees the respondent was required to pay, and £500 for loss of statutory rights). The Tribunal also found the claimant had been wrongfully dismissed and was entitled to damages of £7,125 gross for breach of contract, representing 5 weeks' statutory payment in lieu of notice at £1,425 gross per week.
The claimant was found not to be entitled to a statutory redundancy payment.

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.
