The tribunal also found that Ms Ferrell was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £1,432.20. In addition, it made a compensatory award of £2,204.66, made up of £1,848.84 loss of earnings, £260.40 loss of statutory rights and £95.42 loss of pension. It further awarded £260.40 under s.38 Employment Act 2002 for failure to give a written statement of initial employment particulars.

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.
