Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim form was sent to the respondent on 25 April 2025 and no response was entered. The Employment Judge decided the claim could be determined without a hearing under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. On the material available, the tribunal said there was no basis to conclude that there was a potentially fair reason for dismissal, and it held that Mr Forgan was unfairly dismissed.
On remedy, the tribunal assessed a basic award by reference to the claimant’s age and length of service at 7.5 weeks’ pay, using £538 per week and arriving at £4,035. It assessed past wage loss from the dismissal date of 7 January 2025 to 9 June 2025 at 22 weeks, producing £9,988, and future loss at 26 weeks, producing £11,804. It also allowed £500 for loss of statutory rights and £602.40 for pension loss.
The tribunal recorded a gross compensatory award of £22,894.40 and deducted a termination payment of £3,769.23 to reach a net figure of £19,125.17. It stated that this was below the statutory cap and made a total award for unfair dismissal of £23,163.62.

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.
