Case Summary

The claimant's claim of automatic unfair dismissal for protected public interest disclosure was withdrawn. The tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed on 21 November 2024 for conduct-related reasons with procedural unfairness, but reduced both basic and compensatory awards by 50% due to the claimant's conduct. The parties settled the claim for £8,737.21 net.

Why this outcome?

Commercial settlement

The claimant was unfairly dismissed due to procedural unfairness in the dismissal for conduct-related reasons, although the tribunal found she would in all probability have been fairly dismissed had proper procedure been followed. The awards were reduced by 50% due to the claimant's conduct.
