Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 6 January 2023. The tribunal held that she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,285.10, calculated on the basis that she was aged 40 at the date of redundancy, had been employed from 26 May 2017 to 6 January 2023, and had an average gross weekly pay of £457.02.
No award was made for notice pay. The tribunal found that the claimant was employed under a zero-hours contract and therefore there was no obligation on the respondent to offer her work during the notice period.
The claims for wages and holiday pay were dismissed. The tribunal noted that both were claimed as compensation for the notice period, and that no unfair dismissal claim was pursued.

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.
