Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs F Philips brought claims against BW Gardening Limited (in voluntary liquidation) for redundancy payment and holiday pay. The case was heard at Birmingham by CVP on 23 November 2023 before Employment Judge K Wright. The respondent did not attend.
On the redundancy payment claim, the tribunal determined under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996 that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,117.30. As the respondent had already paid £403.45, the tribunal ordered payment of the remaining balance of £713.85.
The tribunal also found the holiday pay complaint well-founded. It accepted that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant for 9.13 days of holiday accrued but not taken when employment ended. The tribunal ordered payment of £680.06 as a gross sum, with tax and national insurance to be dealt with by the claimant.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time. No other claims or remedies were recorded in the judgment, and no interest award was made.

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.
