Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the case in chambers under Rule 21 after the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. On that basis, it entered judgment for the claimant, Mr Alex Roach, against D R Groundworks Limited.
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. It also found that he was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. In addition, the claimant's claim for breach of contract succeeded in respect of notice pay, and his claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay also succeeded.
The judgment did not quantify any monetary award. It stated that the appropriate remedy would be determined at a further hearing, notice of which would be sent to the parties in due course.

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.
