Mr P Matthews v Skanska plc: 3313494/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s claim for unfair dismissal is well-founded. The claimant was unfairly dismissed. However, had the respondent followed a fair procedure it is more likely than not that the claimant would have been dismissed in any event. The respondent shall pay the claimant a basic award only in the sum of £2187 and a sum of £500 in respect of loss of statutory rights. The total amount payable to the claimant within 14 days from the date of this judgment is £2687.[2]The complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments is not well-founded and is dismissed.[3]The complaint of automatically unfair dismissal on the grounds of making a protected disclosure is not well founded and dismissed.[4]The complaint of being subjected to detriment for making a protected disclosure is not wellfounded and is dismissed.
