Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss L Kibbler brought claims against Mrs Karen Cooper for failure to pay a redundancy payment, notice pay, and holiday pay. At the hearing in Birmingham on 16 September 2025, Employment Judge Walker recorded that all three complaints were well-founded and succeeded.
On the redundancy issue, the tribunal held that the respondent was in breach of contract by failing to pay the claimant a redundancy payment. It also upheld the breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay.
On holiday pay, the tribunal found that the complaint succeeded and stated that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when the claimant's employment ended. The tribunal did not determine the amount payable at that hearing.
Remedy was left to a further hearing, so no monetary award was recorded in this written judgment.

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.
