Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld Mrs C MacLeod's unfair dismissal claim against James MacQeen Building Contractors Ltd. It found that her dismissal was unfair and that her claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. Summary reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £19,608.41. This comprised £11,144.50, described as an unfair dismissal award, and a compensatory award of £8,463.91. The compensatory award comprised £7,276.47, £487.44 and £700; the judgment did not label those three components.

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.
