Case Summary

The claim of unfair dismissal is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed. It is just and equitable to reduce both awards for unfair dismissal by 75% on the ground of the claimant's conduct prior to dismissal. As compensation for unfair dismissal, the respondent is ordered to pay the claimant a basic award of £1,097.25 and a compensatory award limited to £50 representing loss of statutory rights. The claimant's claim for wrongful dismissal is well-founded. As damages for breach of contract, the respondent is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £3,159.37.

The tribunal found the claimant was unfairly dismissed, but reduced the unfair dismissal awards by 75% due to the claimant's own conduct prior to dismissal. The wrongful dismissal claim succeeded in full. The case proceeded to a full hearing on the merits and was partially successful on both claims.
