Mrs K Wilkinson v Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services UK Ltd: 2424040/2017
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant was unfairly dismissed.[2]The respondent did not discriminate against the claimant because of age.[3]The respondent did not breach the claimant’s contract because it was contractually entitled to dismiss the claimant without giving notice.[4]Any compensatory award for unfair dismissal will be reduced to reflect the tribunal’s finding that, had the respondent acted fairly, there is a 50% chance that the claimant would have remained employed by the respondent.[5]It is just and equitable to reduce the claimant’s basic award of compensation by 50% to reflect the claimant’s contributory conduct.[6]It would not be just and equitable to make any further reduction to the compensatory award to reflect the claimant’s contributory conduct. Case No. 2424040/2017
