Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr C. Brixey appeared in person and the respondent did not appear. Employment Judge Smail heard the case by video at Exeter on 21 December 2023. The tribunal held that the claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, described as unfair selection for redundancy, breach of contract for notice pay, accrued but untaken holiday pay, and entitlement to a redundancy payment were well founded.
The tribunal ordered payment within 14 days and recorded a total award of £12,094.50. It listed £1,713.00 as "Redundancy Payment/Basic Award", £925.06 net for 9 days' holiday pay, and £1,541.76 net for 3 weeks' notice pay. The compensatory award was £7,914.68, made up of £7,061.60 net loss of earnings, £353.08 pension contributions, and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The judgment did not separate the redundancy payment and basic award into distinct sums.

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.
