Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to enter a response within 28 days of the claim being sent on 30 December 2025. Employment Judge Eccles, sitting in Scotland, determined liability under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 without a hearing, and concluded that the available material allowed remedy to be determined.
The claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal succeeds. The Tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,003.89 (3 weeks at £334.63) and a compensatory award of £4,876.99 comprising past loss of wages of £3,148.55 (2.5 months at £1,259.42 net), future loss of £1,228.44 (£102.37 monthly differential over 12 months) and £500 loss of statutory rights.
The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply: the total monetary award stated is £4,876.99, the prescribed element is £3,148.55 attributable to 10 September 2025 to 20 February 2026, and £1,728.44 is the excess. The judgment as written records the total monetary award as £4,876.99 (the basic award plus compensatory award appear to overlap in the recorded total per the judgment text).

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.
