Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 8 January 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Cadney determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. No hearing panel members were listed, and the judgment is a single-judge default determination.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the claimant, Miss S Phillips, was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £5,075 for that breach. The judgment does not set out any separate reasoning beyond the rule 21 determination and the finding that notice pay was due.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It awarded £5,582.50 under that head. In addition, it found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and awarded £1,037.77 for unpaid holiday pay.
The total sum awarded was £11,695.27. The judgment does not record any separate award for interest, basic award, compensatory award, or injury to feelings.

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.
