Case Summary

The claimant was dismissed on 15 December 2025 and brought claims for wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal for a conduct-related reason. The tribunal found both claims well-founded. The parties settled the remedy claim for a total of £26,017.54, comprising basic award, compensatory award, and wrongful dismissal damages, all subject to 50% reductions for the Polkey principle and contributory fault.

Why this outcome?

Commercial settlement

The tribunal found the claimant's claims of wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal for a conduct-related reason to be well-founded. The parties subsequently settled the remedy claim, agreeing to reductions of 50% to both basic and compensatory awards in accordance with the Polkey principle and contributory fault provisions under the Employment Rights Act 1996.
