Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 3 May 2021. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On the papers, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £6,370.00 for that breach. The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £8,070.00.
The judgment records no separate award for interest, injury to feelings, or other heads of loss. The total monetary outcome recorded in the judgment is £14,440.00.

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.
