Employer: Cofal Ltd
The tribunal found the respondent automatically unfairly dismissed the claimant and discriminated against her on grounds of sex and pregnancy/maternity by not allowing her to return from maternity leave.
Employer: Blossom Children's Homes Ltd
All claims dismissed because the employer had reasonable grounds to believe the claimant was asleep on duty, acted within the range of reasonable responses, and there was no evidence of discrimination or breach of regulations.
Employer: Rusgold Manufacturing Ltd
The claimant succeeded in claims for unauthorised deduction from wages and breach of contract (notice pay) but failed in claims for unfair dismissal and holiday pay.
Employer: Angard Staffing Solutions Ltd
The tribunal dismissed the claims in their entirety, finding no breach of regulation 5 AWR 2010 as the claimant failed to establish that she was paid less or had less favourable working conditions than comparable direct employees of the hirer.
Employer: Lumora Ltd T/a Erba Molecular
The claimant succeeded in his claim for unlawful deduction of wages because the bonus was contractual and the respondent failed to pay the full amount due.
Employer: HM Prison and Probation Service
All claims were dismissed as not well-founded or lacking jurisdiction.
Employer: TRGB Ltd
The claimant lost the constructive unfair dismissal claim because there was no repudiatory breach of contract, but won the holiday pay claim on liability (unauthorised deductions) with remedy to be determined.
Employer: Fort Engineering Ltd
The claimant won because the respondent dismissed her while she was on maternity leave, which was automatically unfair and discriminatory, and also failed to pay her contractual and statutory entitlements.
Employer: E & J Gallo Winery Europe
The claimant was not dismissed by the respondent, so the unfair dismissal claim failed.
Employer: Connells Residential
The discrimination claim was dismissed as out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time; the constructive unfair dismissal claim was withdrawn due to lack of jurisdiction.
Employer: Buckinghamshire Council
The claimant's applications to strike out the respondent's response and to amend the claim were both refused. The underlying discrimination claims remain pending, and the unfair dismissal claim was previously withdrawn.
Employer: Peacock Taverns Ltd
The claimant succeeded in all claims for unpaid wages, holiday pay, breach of contract for notice and expenses.
Employer: Camden Community Football and Sports Association
The claimants succeeded on detriment claims under the National Minimum Wage Act but failed on other claims due to time limits and lack of entitlement to wages.
Employer: eBay (UK) Ltd
The claims were struck out because they had no reasonable prospect of success.
Employer: Orchardside School
The claimant had no reasonable prospect of establishing that the discriminatory conduct extended over a period ending on or after 27 August 2024, nor that it would be just and equitable to extend the time limit, so the claims were struck out.
Employer: Sullivan Bus and Coach Ltd (in creditors’ voluntary liquidation) and others
The tribunal found that the employer failed to consult under TULRCA, unfairly dismissed some employees for redundancy, made unlawful deductions from wages, and breached contract for notice pay, while other claims were withdrawn or struck out, and some remain undetermined for a separate list of claimants.
Employer: Quack Recruitment and Training Ltd
The complaints relating to breach of contract and wrongful dismissal were not well-founded because the respondent did not breach the employment contract.
Employer: UK Training and Development Ltd
All complaints were dismissed as not well-founded after a full hearing on liability and remedy.
Employer: University of Hertfordshire
The claimant's second claim was partially struck out as an abuse of process for re-litigating matters already decided or capable of being raised in earlier proceedings, while other allegations were allowed to proceed.
Employer: London Borough of Brent
The tribunal lacked jurisdiction because the relationship between a foster carer and a local authority is not contractual, as established by binding Court of Appeal authority in W v Essex County Council.

Employer: Landscape Avenue Ltd
The entire claim was dismissed under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules.
