Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to enter a response in time, and Employment Judge Smail entered default judgment at Exeter on 21 January 2021. The tribunal recorded that the claimant’s claims for arrears of pay, a redundancy payment, accrued but untaken holiday pay, and notice pay were well-founded.
The judgment set out each head of award in a schedule. It awarded £1,657.00 for arrears of pay for July, £1,023.58 for 10.66 days of holiday pay at a daily gross rate of £96.15, £5,288.47 for redundancy payment based on 11 years at a gross weekly pay figure of £480.77, and £4,206.18 for 11 weeks’ notice pay calculated from a net weekly pay figure of £382.38.
The total awarded was £12,175.23, payable within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties. The extract records no contested findings beyond the default judgment and the itemised calculations, and it does not set out any separate legal analysis or test beyond the award itself.

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.
