Claimant v Upfields Complete Bathrooms Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This is a remedy hearing following a liability judgment. The tribunal has awarded a basic award, compensatory award and loss of statutory rights, indicating the claimant succeeded in her unfair dismissal claim at the liability stage.
Facts
This is a remedy hearing following a successful liability judgment for unfair dismissal. The claimant was represented by a lay representative, Miss A Akers, while the respondent, a bathroom retail/installation company, appeared in person. The tribunal determined the financial remedy to be awarded to the claimant.
Decision
The tribunal awarded the claimant a total of £27,001.90, comprising a basic award of £17,717.41, a compensatory award of £8,884.49, and £400 for loss of statutory rights. Recoupment does not apply to this award.
Practical note
A substantial basic award of over £17,000 suggests significant length of service and/or high weekly pay, with the compensatory award being relatively modest in comparison.
