Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningReserved judgment by Employment Judge L Brown at Leicester. The tribunal found the unfair dismissal complaint well-founded: the respondent carried out no investigation and no disciplinary process before instantly orally dismissing the claimant, which fell outside the range of reasonable responses (per Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd v Hitt). No Polkey reduction was made because the respondent's case had been that the claimant resigned. Contributory fault and any ACAS uplift were left to a future remedy hearing. The unauthorised deductions claim succeeded for two days' work (5 and 7 May 2025) at £309.10 gross. The holiday pay claim succeeded for 3.33 days at £514.65 gross. Under s.38 Employment Act 2002, the tribunal awarded two weeks' gross pay (£1,545.50) for the respondent's failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars (not four weeks, given the size of the employer). Detailed directions for a remedy hearing were given.
