Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time. The tribunal therefore made a Rule 21 determination on the papers. No party attended the hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £1,069.42. The judgment records the figure as calculated at 3 weeks x £356.42, although that parenthetical calculation does not arithmetically match the stated award.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was made redundant and ordered a redundancy payment of £1,069.42. The judgment records that sum as calculated at 3 years x 1 x £356.42, again with a parenthetical calculation that does not arithmetically match the stated award. In addition, the tribunal ordered £82.30 for loss of earnings, including sums for pension. The total award was £2,221.14 payable forthwith.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
