Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mrs J Booth was entitled to holiday pay under the oral terms of her contract of employment, and that this holiday pay had not been paid. Judgment was entered for £656 gross for unpaid holiday pay. It also found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages in the form of unpaid wages for work carried out, and entered judgment for £80 gross on that claim.
The statutory redundancy pay claim succeeded, with judgment for £4,510 gross. The judgment does not set out a separate split between the redundancy payment and the other sums, but the total monetary award recorded in the decision is the sum of the three awarded amounts.
On the dismissal claim, the tribunal held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. However, it made no award of damages, either basic or compensatory, because it found that she had been compensated by the redundancy payment, that she would likely have been dismissed in any event even if fairly dismissed, and that any award would therefore be reduced by 100%.

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.
