Mr J Boyle v Carbon International Ltd: 1800224/2016
JUDGMENT
[1]The Claimant’s complaint of unfair dismissal is well founded and succeeds. The Claimant was not dismissed for reason of his raising health and safety concerns but his dismissal was unfair in accordance with Section 98(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.[2]As compensation for unfair dismissal the Respondent is ordered to pay to the Claimant the sum of £1,415.35 comprising of a basic award of £124.80 and a compensatory award of £1,290.55 (such later sum having been uplifted by 10 per cent by reason of the Respondent’s unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures and both sums having been reduced by a factor of 70 per cent to reflect the Claimant’s blameworthy conduct/conduct before dismissal).
