Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Faulkner sat alone at a remote hearing on 17 and 18 November and 14 and 15 December 2022. The judgment records that the Respondent, Blue Mountain Homes Ltd, breached Mr K Schumacher’s contract of employment by failing to pay his full entitlement for accrued but untaken holiday on termination. The tribunal awarded £808.00 for that breach, subject to deductions for tax and National Insurance required by law.
The tribunal also found that the Respondent breached the contract by terminating employment without notice. For that claim, the tribunal ordered compensation in such gross sum as would result in a net payment to the Claimant of £6,214.96, again subject to deductions required by law.
The Claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint was also upheld. The judgment states that the dismissal was unfair and awards a total of £12,599.24, made up of a basic award of £6,609.60 and a compensatory award of £5,989.64. The judgment does not set out written reasons beyond noting that oral reasons were given at the hearing.
The tribunal directed that the sums awarded be paid within 14 days of the date of the judgment.

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.
