Estate agent Daniel Denby has been awarded £8,270 after his claim of constructive dismissal against Alan Goldin in north London was upheld.

A case was brought against the estate agency, based in Temple Fortune, in June 2021 by Denby who was unhappy following a transfer of ownership.

Having joined the company in March 2016 as a negotiator, Denby was later promoted to sales and letting manager.

But Denby, who left the firm in February last year, was unhappy that the company owned initially by Alan Goldin was transferred to Remi Estates, a business owned by Alan Goldin’s son, Adam Goldin, in 2020 without his knowledge.

The transfer to Remi Estates, a small property management firm, headed up by Adam Goldin, had an impact on Denby’s role at the company and adversely impacted his earnings.

Judge Daley said: “Given this I am satisfied that had Mr Denby been aware of the transfer he would have referred some of his queries about the day-to-day management to Mr Adam Goldin, especial in respect of the managed property.

“I am persuaded that Mr Denby was unaware of this transfer as he approached Mr Alan Goldin on matters that were important to him, including questions concerning whether he could have a pay rise.”

Denby was awarded £8,270 in total, including a basic award of £2,700, loss of statutory rights in the sum of £400, loss of benefits in the sum of £1,590, as well as a compensatory award in the sum of £3,580 subject to recoupment of income support.
