Case Summary
The claimant claimed unfair dismissal against Target Healthcare Limited. The respondent conceded at the final hearing that the dismissal was unfair. The tribunal rejected the claimant's application to strike out the respondent's response, finding no unreasonable or vexatious conduct, and proceeded to determine remedy. The tribunal awarded total compensation of £16,696 (basic award £5,033 and compensatory award £11,663).
Why this outcome?
The respondent conceded that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The tribunal rejected the claimant's application to strike out the response, finding that although there had been disputes regarding document production, the parties had ultimately produced all documents they considered relevant and a fair hearing on remedy remained possible. The tribunal determined compensation based on the claimant's loss of earnings from dismissal on 13 May 2025 until taking up new employment with Ethigen on 25 August 2025, with adjustments for mitigation including a period of lower-paid interim employment.
