Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 4 May 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 and determined the claim on the papers.
The tribunal found that Mrs S Matthews was dismissed by reason of redundancy. On that basis, it held that she was entitled to a redundancy payment.
The judgment records the amount of the redundancy payment as £9,812.40. No other claim type, remedy component, or legal test is stated in the extracted judgment text.

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.
