Miss R Crocker & Miss N Cornish
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Crocker succeeded on all three claims that the tribunal determined for her: breach of contract, accrued but unpaid holiday pay, and redundancy pay. The respondent had not entered a response or appeared. The hearing was conducted by telephone because of the coronavirus restrictions, and Miss Crocker gave evidence on oath about the value of her claims.
The tribunal found that Miss Crocker started work on 17 January 2017 and was dismissed on 4 October 2019 when the business ceased trading. It found that she had been subject to a TUPE transfer from Morwenna Care to the respondent on or around 14 October 2017, so she had the requisite two years' service. It also found that she had been on maternity leave from January 2019 and was due to return in October 2019, but was told on 4 October 2019 that the company had ceased trading and she was dismissed without notice.
On remedy, the tribunal accepted weekly pay figures of £161 net and £171 gross. It held that Miss Crocker had not taken any holiday in the 12 months before dismissal and was therefore entitled to 5.6 weeks' holiday pay. It also awarded redundancy pay and notice pay. The judgment records no award for Miss Cornish because the tribunal said there was insufficient information to make one.

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.
