Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Miss R Burt presented a complaint for a redundancy payment against Medina Quay Meats Ltd, but the tribunal struck it out. The tribunal found that the claimant had been employed for less than two years, so she was not entitled to a redundancy payment under section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The claimant accepted that position and told the tribunal that she had ticked the redundancy payment complaint box in error. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the complaint could not proceed and struck it out.

The judgment states that the claimant’s other complaints were not affected by this decision.

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.
