Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat in chambers at Plymouth on 18 March 2020 under Rule 21 after the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been filed. It dealt with the claim on the papers and recorded that the claimant need not attend the listed remedy hearing.
The tribunal found that Mrs Samantha Champkins was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £4,795.20, calculated in the judgment as 12 years x 1.5 weeks x £266.40. It also held that her breach of contract claim succeeded and awarded eleven weeks' notice pay in the net sum of £2,930.40.
In addition, the tribunal upheld the claimant's unlawful deduction from wages claim and ordered payment of two months' pay in the gross sum of £2,308.80. It further upheld the claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay and awarded three weeks' pay in the gross sum of £799.20. The judgment records no separate liability reasons beyond the Rule 21 default position and the stated heads of award.

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.
