Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Bristol video hearing on 2 June 2023, Employment Judge C H O'Rourke held that Wessex Environmental Sales & Services Limited failed, on termination of employment on 4 May 2022, to pay the three claimants their full statutory redundancy pay and pay in lieu of notice. The judge also found that Mr Jay Jones and Mr David Coleborn had not been provided with terms and conditions compliant with s.1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and ordered two weeks' pay for each of them.
The schedule recorded gross awards of £8,352, £6,852 and £1,392 for Mr Jones, less £2,990 already paid, producing £13,606; £4,095, £5,995 and £1,170 for Mr Coleborn, less £2,556 already paid, producing £8,704; and £3,270 and £4,905 for Mr Price, less £2,513 already paid, producing £5,662. The respondent's counterclaims against all three claimants were dismissed.

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.
