Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr B Wallace had been unfairly dismissed by DB Cargo UK Limited. It ordered the respondent to pay £500 in respect of loss of statutory rights. The judgment does not set out written reasons, noting that reasons were given orally at the hearing and would not be provided unless requested.
The tribunal also upheld Mr Wallace's entitlement to statutory redundancy pay. It recorded an entitlement figure of £6,497, less £1,298.30 already paid, leaving £5,198.70 due. In addition, the respondent was ordered to pay the agreed sum of £1,700 for holiday accrued in the 2019 holiday year but not taken.
Mr Wallace's breach of contract claim for pay in lieu of notice failed and was dismissed. The judgment is short and records the monetary outcomes only, without a written explanation of the tribunal's reasoning beyond the orders made.

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.
