Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued in chambers at Plymouth on 9 February 2024, following the expiry of the time for presenting a response and no valid response having been presented by the respondent. The tribunal determined that the claimant's weekly pay for a 40-hour week should have been calculated at the National Minimum Wage rate of £10.42 per hour, giving a weekly pay figure of £416.80.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £11,878.80, representing 28.5 weeks at £416.80 gross per week. The tribunal also held that the claimant's claim for breach of contract succeeded, and ordered the respondent to pay the statutory minimum of 12 weeks' notice pay in the sum of £5,001.60.

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.
