Mr M Babchuk v Goliath Marketing Ltd: 6035984/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The complaint of wrongful dismissal in breach of the Claimant’s contractual entitlement to notice is well-founded and succeeds. The Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant £2,071.23 as damages for breach of contract. This figure has been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the Claimant will have to pay tax on it as post-employment notice pay.[2]The Respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures and it is just and equitable to increase the award payable to the Claimant by 15% in accordance with section 207A of the Trade Union & Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 so that the Respondent is ordered to pay the Claimant the additional sum of £310.68.[3]The Claimant’s other complaints of breach of contract and unauthorised deductions from pay are not well-founded and are dismissed.[4]The total amount payable by the Respondent to the Claimant is £2,381.91.
