Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remote CVP hearing on 10 September 2021, before Employment Judge Dunlop sitting alone, the tribunal dealt with preliminary disposal issues rather than a merits hearing. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
The claimant’s redundancy payment claim, and the combined breach of contract and/or unlawful deduction from wages claims concerning notice pay, arrears of pay and any other payments, were dismissed upon withdrawal. The judgment records those claims as withdrawn, and no substantive findings were made on their merits.
The unfair dismissal claim, together with the combined breach of contract and/or unlawful deduction from wages claims concerning unpaid accrued holiday pay, were struck out because they were presented outside the relevant statutory time limits. The tribunal found that it would have been reasonably practicable for the claims to have been presented in time.
No claims remained to proceed to hearing, and the judgment did not record any monetary award.

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.
