Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued after the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented by the respondent. The hearing was held remotely on 23 May 2024 by CVP audio (telephone) before Employment Judge N J Roper sitting alone. The tribunal recorded the claimant's gross pay as £1,791.00 per month (£413.31 gross per week) and net pay as £1,438.00 per month (£331.85 net per week).
The tribunal found that the claimant was employed for 16 complete years from 20 June 2006 until 20 January 2023, and was aged over 41 throughout that period, entitling her to a statutory redundancy payment of £9,919.44. The claim for breach of contract succeeded, and the respondent was ordered to pay twelve weeks' notice pay in the net sum of £3,982.20.
The claim for unlawful deduction from wages also succeeded in respect of employee pension deductions of £728.00 and employer pension deductions of £653.00, with the respondent ordered to pay the gross sum of £1,381.00.

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.
