Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr Jackson and Mr Carter were each dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded Mr Jackson £1,823.56, calculated as 9 x £202.62, and Mr Carter £801.93, calculated as 3 x £267.31. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay Mr Jackson's holiday entitlement and ordered £98.47 for 3 days' accrued but untaken annual leave.
The tribunal further found a failure to comply with the duty to inform and consult representatives under Regulation 13 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. It ordered compensation of £2,634.06 to Mr Jackson, calculated as 13 x £202.62, and £3,475.03 to Mr Carter, calculated as 13 x £267.31. The judgment stated that the Recoupment Regulations did not apply to these awards.
Both claimants were also found to have been unfairly dismissed. Mr Jackson received a basic award of £2,735.37 and a compensatory award of £500 for loss of statutory rights, making £3,235.37 in total. Mr Carter received a basic award of £534.62 and a compensatory award of £500 for loss of statutory rights, making £1,034.62 in total. The judgment again recorded that the Recoupment Regulations did not apply.

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.
