Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss S Garland brought claims arising from the termination of her employment on 4 April 2022 after nine years as a Nail Technician for DB Skin Clinic Ltd. The respondent did not reply to the claim. The tribunal first tried to calculate the claimant’s losses so that a hearing might be avoided, but her email of 16 November 2022 did not provide enough information for default judgment on paper, so the matter remained listed for a remedy hearing.
Before the hearing, the tribunal again tried to obtain the missing information. The claimant did not respond to the further correspondence and was warned that failure to engage could result in strike out. On the morning of the hearing she wrote to say that she could not attend because of an important family matter. The judge declined to postpone further and proceeded in her absence.
On the material available, the tribunal calculated a redundancy payment of £2,312.51 and nine weeks' notice pay of £2,811.15, and made awards on those bases. No further awards were made for unpaid holiday pay or unpaid pension contributions because the claimant had not attended to provide the necessary details.

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.
