Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal determined the claim on the papers. The judgment records that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and that she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £5,424.50, payable gross and not subject to further reduction.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £2,646.31. In addition, it found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and had failed to pay her holiday entitlement, awarding £2,646.31 and £1,709.92 respectively. The judgment states that the wages and holiday sums were ordered gross, subject to lawful deductions for tax and national insurance.
The notice damages were also ordered gross because the claimant had not provided a net figure, but the tribunal noted that they may be reduced by a sum equivalent to the tax and national insurance due on notice pay. The total award was £12,427.04, subject to the deductions described in the judgment.

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.
