Employment Judge Hunt

No final compensation award yet

The judgment records agreed sums already owed and percentage adjustments for unfair dismissal, but it does not set out the final unfair-dismissal compensation figure.

Any figure in the judgment may reflect agreed pay, holiday pay, wages or expenses rather than the final compensation award.

Case Summary

Employment Judge Hunt found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by West Midlands Trains Ltd due to his misconduct, and also upheld the claim for wrongful dismissal.

Why this outcome?

The Employment Judge found that the claimant's dismissal was unfair because the respondent failed to follow proper disciplinary procedures, and the dismissal was also wrongful as it breached the contract of employment.
