Mr S Brzozowski (in person) For the
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Birmingham preliminary hearing on 13 and 14 February 2025, Employment Judge Perry recorded that the respondent had agreed to pay the claimant 25.5 hours of banked hours, equivalent to £344.76 gross. The claimant’s complaints about not being paid wages, overtime and a bonus, and about failure to provide payslips, were struck out under r.38 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024.
The tribunal held that Mr Brzozowski had been unfairly dismissed. However, it found that if a fair procedure had been followed he would have been fairly dismissed by the same point in any event by reason of redundancy. On that basis the tribunal made a basic award only, in the agreed sum of £1,027.52, and no compensatory award.
The claimant also accepted that he had been paid his notice pay, so that claim was dismissed.

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.
