Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment by Employment Judge R Harfield in the claim by Caroline Archer-Jones against Bob Jones, Prytherch & Co Marts Limited. The tribunal found that the claimant was constructively unfairly dismissed. It also found that the respondent had ceased trading, so the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £11,538.60.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £4,615.44 damages, and that accrued holiday entitlement outstanding on termination had not been paid, with £1,923.10 gross ordered. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the notice and holiday sums. It also declared that the respondent had failed to provide itemised pay statements since September 2019. The published record does not state any separate monetary award for the constructive unfair dismissal finding itself; the specified monetary awards total £18,077.14.

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.
