Case Summary
The claimant was unfairly dismissed, with a 70% chance that he would have been fairly dismissed. The respondent's failure to comply with the ACAS Code increased the compensatory award by 25%, but it was reduced by 50% due to the claimant's blameworthy conduct.
Why this outcome?
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim succeeded on the merits, but the tribunal found the respondent would have had a 70% chance of fairly dismissing the claimant anyway, reducing the compensatory award accordingly. The respondent's breach of the ACAS Code increased compensation by 25%, but the claimant's blameworthy conduct resulted in a 50% reduction, ultimately favouring the respondent.
