Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for redundancy, unfair dismissal, unlawful wage deduction, and breach of contract. The tribunal found the redundancy claim well-founded, awarding £1,400. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed with a 100% Polkey assessment. The unlawful deduction claim was dismissed as the deductions were authorised by statute. The breach of contract claims relating to private healthcare and company car were dismissed. The claimant also succeeded on an unpaid commission claim for £8,000.

The redundancy claim succeeded on the merits. The unfair dismissal claim was not well-founded and was dismissed, with a 100% Polkey assessment indicating the claimant would have been dismissed in any event. The wage deduction claim was dismissed because the National Insurance deductions were authorised by statute. The breach of contract claims for healthcare and car were dismissed as not well-founded.
