Claimant v Prestige Network Limited

The parties consented to a declaration that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The tribunal made the declaration by consent, indicating agreement between the parties that the dismissal was unfair.

The tribunal found the complaint that the claimant was dismissed because of making a protected disclosure was not well founded and dismissed it. The tribunal was not satisfied that whistleblowing was the reason for dismissal.

The tribunal found the complaint that the claimant was subjected to a detriment because of making a protected disclosure was not well founded and dismissed it. The tribunal did not accept that any detriments suffered were causally linked to protected disclosures.

The claimant's complaint of wrongful dismissal was dismissed by the tribunal. This suggests the tribunal found the respondent did not breach the claimant's contract in the manner of dismissal.

The tribunal found the respondent made an unlawful deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £3408.64 net (£4758.81 gross). The tribunal was satisfied the respondent had wrongly withheld wages due to the claimant.

The respondent's employer contract claim was dismissed. The tribunal did not uphold any counterclaim brought by the respondent for alleged breach of contract by the claimant.
