Claimant v Uttoxeter Veterinary Practice Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the respondent was in breach of the claimant's contract and awarded damages of £17.60. This was a remedy hearing following an earlier liability judgment.
Facts
This is a remedy hearing following an earlier liability judgment in which the tribunal found the respondent veterinary practice had breached the claimant's contract of employment. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £17.60 as damages for breach of contract. This represents a very modest award following the earlier liability finding.
Practical note
Even where liability for breach of contract is established, the actual financial loss suffered may be minimal, resulting in a very small damages award.
