Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Leonard, brought claims against TG Stamping & Machining Ltd (in Administration) and the Department for Business & Trade. The judgment records that the claimant had the administrator's consent on 19 May 2023 to pursue his claims against respondent 1, and that neither respondent attended the hearing before Employment Judge Power in Birmingham on 1 December 2023.
The tribunal found the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract in respect of notice pay, and unlawful deductions from wages in respect of accrued but untaken holiday to be well founded and successful. No separate reasoning is set out in the extracted text beyond the tribunal's conclusion on liability.
On remedy, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £9,966.50 for unfair dismissal and a compensatory award of £1,582.91, broken down into £689.50 loss of earnings, £293.41 pension loss, and £600 loss of statutory rights. It also awarded £4,421.43 gross for breach of contract and £94.67 for unlawful deductions from wages, giving a total award of £16,065.51.

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.
