The tribunal found the claimant's complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded. The judgment resulted in a compensatory award of £115,115 being made in the claimant's favour.
Facts
Rebecca Boughey brought an unfair dismissal claim against Marsden Weighing Machine Group Ltd. The case was heard over three days by video hearing at Leeds Employment Tribunal in June 2025. The claimant was represented by counsel and the respondent by a consultant.
Decision
The tribunal found the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint was well founded. The tribunal awarded a compensatory award of £115,115 but made no basic award. The recoupment regulations were stated not to apply to the judgment.
Practical note
This case resulted in a substantial compensatory award of over £115,000 for unfair dismissal with no basic award made, suggesting either the claimant had less than two years' service or had received a redundancy payment.
