Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered judgment in default under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present a Response within the relevant time limit. On that basis, it accepted the claimant's claim for breach of contract in respect of pension deductions made but not paid to her pension provider and ordered payment of £75.19 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £1,050.00. It further recorded that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,575.00.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £525.00. The total sum payable by the respondent was £3,225.19 gross, subject to deductions of income tax and National Insurance contributions where applicable.

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.
