Mr M Reynolds v PP Plasma Ltd: 2410400/2018
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant was unfairly dismissed. His claim for unfair dismissal is wellfounded and succeeds.[2]The principles in Polkey apply to this case. The claimant's compensatory award is reduced by 100% to nil.[3]The claimant's basic award is reduced by 50% to reflect the claimant’s culpable and blameworthy conduct that contributed to his dismissal.[4]The claimant is entitled to a basic award of £1,885.80. This is calculated as the claimant’s date of birth (12/1/1969); date of dismissal (28 February 2018). At the date of dismissal, the claimant was 49 years old and had seven years’ service. He is entitled to 10.5 weeks’ pay for each year worked in the sum of £359.20 per each week, less 50% = £1,885.80.
