Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a monetary claim for breach of contract against his former employer. The respondent did not respond to the claim and did not attend the remote hearing, so the tribunal considered the claimant's documentary and oral evidence, which was unchallenged.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been summarily dismissed on 4 October 2021 and was contractually entitled to three months' notice, which he had not received. It held that the respondent was in breach of contract and that the claimant should be put in the position he would have been in had proper notice been given.
The tribunal calculated the award on a net basis. Three months' net notice pay was £30,900, from which £677.26 was deducted for two days after the claimant started higher-paid new employment. The respondent was ordered to pay £30,222.74.

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.
