As of 1 February 2010, the maximum compensatory award for a claim of “normal” unfair dismissal decreased to £65,300. This is the first ever decrease, which is a result of the annual revision being index-linked.
The limit on a “week’s pay” for redundancy and unfair dismissal basic award purposes remains at £380 following last October’s one-off increase.
It is worth mentioning that for certain unfair dismissal claims, as well as for discrimination claims, there is no upper limit on the compensation that the Tribunal can award.
