Reference: 6026090/2025

The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay wages, notice pay, and redundancy payments as required by law, and awarded the full amounts claimed.
Reference: 3201009/2025

All three claims (unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, and protective award) succeeded in full, with the claimant receiving a total gross award of £62,714.00.
Reference: 6004787/2025
The respondent did not make an unauthorised deduction because the claimant was on sick leave and not available for work, so he was properly paid sick pay rather than full wages.

Reference: 8002525/2025
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was not well founded, and the respondent's justification defence succeeded in respect of the discrimination claim, leading to dismissal of all claims.
Reference: 1306036/2024
The Employment Judge found the dismissal was fair because the employer had a genuine belief in the misconduct, conducted a reasonable investigation, followed a fair procedure, and the decision to dismiss was within the range of reasonable responses; therefore the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed.
Reference: 6038943/2025
The claimant failed to establish primary facts from which discrimination or victimisation could be inferred; the respondent provided credible non‑discriminatory reasons for the rejection, and key decision‑makers were unaware of the alleged protected act.
Reference: 1307046/2024
The respondent breached the implied term of trust and confidence by failing to pay proper bereavement leave and failing to deal with the grievance, leading to the claimant's constructive unfair dismissal.
Reference: 6020872/2024
The employer failed to consult about collective redundancies and failed to pay the claimant's notice pay, both breaches well-founded.
Reference: 6004083/2024
The claimant won his constructive unfair dismissal claim because the respondent's flawed disciplinary process, trumped-up charges, and unfair final written warning cumulatively breached the implied term of trust and confidence, but lost his whistleblowing claims because the protected disclosure did not materially influence the respondent's actions.
