Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed. It recorded a basic award of £0 and a compensatory award of £500, and stated that there was a 100% chance the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event.
It also determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,400. Separately, the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded, and the tribunal awarded £1,400 as damages, calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was upheld. The tribunal found that for the period 1 October 2024 to 28 October 2024 the claimant should have been paid £2,520, that the respondent was only entitled to deduct £1,930 for damage to a company vehicle, and that the gross shortfall was £590, which it ordered the respondent to pay. The holiday pay complaint was dismissed because it was not well-founded.

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.
