Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing the response being struck out by Employment Judge Harding on 20 February 2023, Employment Judge Broughton entered judgment on 22 February 2023. The claimant’s claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, breach of contract and unpaid holiday pay succeeded, and the hearing listed for 1 March 2023 was cancelled.
The tribunal awarded a basic award/redundancy payment of £275, calculated as two years’ employment under the age of 22 at 2 x 1/2 x £275, and a compensatory award of £275 for loss of statutory rights. It also recorded a breach of contract/notice pay award of £550.
The judgment further awarded £880 for unpaid holiday pay, calculated as 16 days at £55 per day, and £550 for no statement of terms and conditions of employment. The total award was £2,530.

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.
