Ms M Pincher The v Mr T Long and Miss S Smith trading as Crowning Glory Hair Design — 2020

The tribunal joined Mr T Long and Miss S Smith to the proceedings because the case had originally named only Crowning Glory Hair Design, which was a trading name. It then found that the claimant's claims for statutory redundancy pay, damages for breach of contract, and unpaid holiday pay were well founded.

The tribunal ordered payment of £3,400.08 in respect of the claimant's statutory redundancy payment under s 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, £1,700.04 for 12 weeks' notice under s 86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and £1,586.70 for unpaid holiday entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998. In addition, because the proceedings related to jurisdictions listed in Schedule 5 of the Employment Act 2002 and the respondents were in breach of their duty to the claimant under section 1(1) and 4(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 when proceedings began, the award was increased by a further two weeks' pay of £283.34 under s 38(3)(b) of the Employment Act 2002.
