Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge R Harfield issued a Rule 21 judgment in favour of Nigel Griffiths against Bob Jones, Prytherch & Co Marts Limited. The tribunal found that the claimant was constructively unfairly dismissed. It further recorded that the respondent's fundamental breach arose because it had ceased trading, and on that basis the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a statutory redundancy payment of £11,346.00 and damages of £4,615.32 for breach of contract in respect of notice. It also awarded £1,923.05 gross for holiday entitlement accrued and outstanding on termination of employment. The written judgment does not set out a separate basic award or compensatory award for the dismissal finding in the text provided.
In addition, the tribunal declared that the respondent had failed to provide itemised pay statements since September 2019. No discrimination findings were made in the judgment and no lay members are listed.

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.
