Key Issues

  • The respondent unfairly dismissed the claimant and her dismissal was automatically unfair in terms of section 103A Employment Rights Act 1996
  • The respondent entered into compulsory liquidation on 7 August 2023 and had the claimant not been unfairly dismissed prior to that date, she would have been dismissed on that date
  • Compensation is only awarded in respect of the claimant's loss of earnings from the date of her dismissal to the date of compulsory liquidation of the respondent
  • No award is made to the claimant in respect of any bonus she may have received between the period of her dismissal and 7 August 2023 as it is too speculative to calculate any compensation in that regard given the claimant's short length of service with the respondent
  • No award is made in respect of injury to feelings as the only detriment to which the claimant was subjected in respect of having made a protected disclosure is her dismissal
  • The claimant was paid in lieu of her notice entitlement
