(b)the terms of the order are not fully complied with.
(2)Subject to section 124 [F2and to regulations under section 127B], the amount of the compensation shall be such as the tribunal thinks fit having regard to the loss sustained by the complainant in consequence of the failure to comply fully with the terms of the order.

(b)except where this paragraph does not apply, an additional award of compensation of the appropriate amount,
to be paid by the employer to the employee.
(4)Subsection (3)(b) does not apply where—
(a)the employer satisfies the tribunal that it was not practicable to comply with the order, or
(b)the reason (or, if more than one, the principal reason)—
(i)in a redundancy case, for selecting the employee for dismissal, or
(ii)otherwise, for the dismissal,
is one of those specified in section 100(1)(a) and (b), [F5101A(d),] 102(1) or 103.

(6)The descriptions of dismissal in respect of which an employer may incur a higher additional award in accordance with subsection (5)(a) are—

(7)Where in any case an employer has engaged a permanent replacement for a dismissed employee, the tribunal shall not take that fact into account in determining for the purposes of subsection (4)(a) whether it was practicable to comply with the order for reinstatement or re-engagement unless the employer shows that it was not practicable for him to arrange for the dismissed employee’s work to be done without engaging a permanent replacement.
(8)Where in any case an [F7employment tribunal] finds that the complainant has unreasonably prevented an order under section 113 from being complied with, in making an award of compensation for unfair dismissal F8. . . it shall take that conduct into account as a failure on the part of the complainant to mitigate his loss.
