Respondent

Go North West Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr M Zyla's claim under s.80G(1) Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. The tribunal found that Go North West Limited dealt with his flexible-working application in a reasonable manner but did not notify him of its decision within the decision period.

Under s.80I Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay four weeks' pay, calculated as four times £722.68, totalling £2,890.72. It did not order reconsideration of the application because Mr Zyla made a second application in August 2025 and subsequently had a flexible-working request granted.

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.
