Case Summary
The claimant's claim of unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures succeeds. The compensatory element of the award is reduced by 50%, but no reduction is made for contributory fault. The claimant's claim for one week's notice pay also succeeds.
Why this outcome?
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for making protected disclosures, and that the claimant was entitled to one week's notice pay as there was no gross misconduct justifying summary dismissal. The compensatory award was reduced by 50% on grounds not specified in the order text as contributory fault.
