Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent, the Tribunal held that A Browne was entitled to notice pay as damages for breach of contract because he had not committed gross misconduct. It awarded £357.11 net, representing one week's notice pay.
The Tribunal also held that Mr Browne was entitled to one week's arrears of wages. Andrew Donaldson had not proved that Mr Browne had taken paid, rather than unpaid, leave exceeding his paid annual-leave entitlement on termination, or that a deduction from wages was permitted on that basis. The Tribunal awarded £440 gross.
No award was made under section 38(3) of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent had complied with the duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars. The awards recorded in the judgment total £797.11, comprising £357.11 net and £440 gross.

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.
