Claimant v East London NHS Foundation Trust
Outcome
Facts
This is a remedy hearing following a liability judgment given on 14 December 2023 in favour of Dr Schopflin against East London NHS Foundation Trust. The tribunal heard evidence over three days in May and September 2024 to determine the appropriate financial remedy. The parties reached agreement on the remedy sum and consented to the final order.
Decision
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £44,739.37 within 28 days by consent. The first £30,000 is to be paid without deduction of income tax as compensation for termination of employment, with the balance subject to PAYE deductions as required by law.
Practical note
This case demonstrates that remedy hearings can result in consent orders where parties reach agreement on quantum following a contested liability hearing.
