JUDGMENT

[1]By consent the name of the respondent is amended to Idleback Limited t/a South Yorkshire Shooting Club.[2]The Claimant’s dismissal was procedurally unfair.[3]However taking into account the chance that a fair procedure would still have led to a dismissal and taking into account the claimant’s contributory conduct, the compensation awarded to the claimant is reduced by 50%.[4]The claimant is awarded a basic award of £864 and a compensatory award of £3,344. Those figures are calculated as set out in the schedule below.[5]The Recoupment Regulations apply. For the purposes of those Regulations the monetary award is £4,208; the prescribed element is £2,590; the period of the prescribed element is 12 March 2018 to 31 July 2018 and the monetary award exceeds the prescribed element by £1618.[6]The respondent will pay the basic award and the sum of £1618 on account of the compensatory award to the claimant forthwith. The payment of the balance of the compensatory award is subject to the operation of the Recoupment Regulations.
