Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Rule 21 judgment records that Carolyn Jenkins was constructively unfairly dismissed. It also states that the respondent had ceased to trade, so the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £5,603.22. Separate damages were ordered for breach of contract in respect of notice pay in the sum of £3,735.48 gross, with the claimant responsible for any tax or employee national insurance contributions due.
The tribunal further found an unauthorised deduction from wages in relation to arrears of pay outstanding at termination and ordered payment of £13,696.76 gross. It also found that accrued holiday entitlement outstanding on termination had not been paid and ordered £1,556.45 gross. In addition, the respondent was found to be in breach of contract for failing to pay outstanding expenses (£2,880.40) and pension contributions since December 2019 (£659.95).
The judgment further declares that the respondent failed to provide the claimant with itemised pay statements. The judgment is concise and records the outcomes and sums awarded, but does not set out detailed reasons beyond the findings listed above.

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.
