Claimant v Archbold Logistics Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
At the start of the Final Hearing the Respondent conceded that the complaint of Unfair Dismissal pursuant to section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 is well founded. The Tribunal proceeded to consider remedy only without determining the substantive issues.
Facts
This was a remedy-only hearing following the Respondent's concession at the start of the Final Hearing that the Claimant's unfair dismissal claim under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded. The Tribunal proceeded to determine the appropriate compensation.
Decision
The Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the Claimant £4050.90 as a basic award and £2664.04 as a compensatory award, totalling £6714.94. The Tribunal noted that the ACAS uplift applied only to the compensatory award and not the basic award. The Recoupment Regulations apply to this judgment.
Practical note
An ACAS Code uplift applies only to the compensatory award in unfair dismissal cases, not to the basic award.
