Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that Mr M Broadbent was unfairly dismissed by Ava Waste Management Group Limited under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It awarded a basic award of £3,150 and a compensatory award of £955.80. Each component was increased by a 25% Acas uplift, producing respective totals of £3,937.50 and £1,194.75.
The Tribunal also found that Mr Broadbent was wrongfully dismissed under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994. It awarded £2,100 for unpaid notice, increased by a 25% Acas uplift to £2,625.
An unauthorised deduction from wages was found in relation to the period from 16 to 24 March 2025 under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The Tribunal awarded £150.11 for that claim and applied no uplift.
The disability discrimination claim was dismissed because the Tribunal found that the dismissal was not unfavourable treatment because of something arising from disability. The total award was £7,907.36, payable within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties. The Tribunal stated that the award was payable tax free, subject to the claimant accounting to HMRC for any tax due, and that the Recoupment Regulations did not apply because he was entitled to contribution-based Employment Support Allowance.

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.
