Claimant v Applied Technology Developments Limited

The tribunal heard evidence and submissions from both parties and concluded that the claimant was not subjected to a detriment for making a protected disclosure. The claim was dismissed on its merits.

The tribunal concluded that the claimant was not automatically unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure. The whistleblowing element of the dismissal claim was rejected, though the dismissal itself was found to be unfair on ordinary grounds.

The tribunal found that the respondent nonetheless unfairly dismissed the claimant under ordinary unfair dismissal principles. The tribunal awarded compensatory damages for loss of earnings, pension contributions, and loss of statutory rights.

The parties consented to judgment for notice pay in the sum of £1,485.75 gross, which the tribunal ordered by consent. This reflects the claimant's entitlement to contractual notice pay.
