Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal, sitting as Employment Judge Lambert at a CVP remote hearing of the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 15 and 16 September 2025, upheld Mr Beaumont's complaint of unfair dismissal against JW Distillers Ltd. The Claimant appeared in person and the Respondent was represented by Dr Walters, a Director.
On remedy, the Tribunal calculated a Basic Award of £3,461.52 (6.0 multiplier x £576.92), reduced by 15% for contributory conduct, producing £2,942.29. The Compensatory Award covered 22 weeks from the date of dismissal until April 2025 at £483.10 net per week (£10,628.20), less £460.00 in earnings (£10,168.20). The Tribunal applied a 25% uplift for unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code (£12,710.25) before applying a 15% contributory conduct reduction, producing £10,803.71.
The Tribunal recorded a total award of £13,746.00 (Basic plus Compensatory). Written reasons were not provided with the judgment and will only be issued if requested within 14 days. The judgment was sent to the parties on 25 September 2025.

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.
