Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by video on 7 July 2023 before Employment Judge S Moore, with the respondent not attending. The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 and found that it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim within three months of termination, but that it was issued within a reasonable time thereafter.
On the merits, the tribunal found that Mr Robert Davies had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,713.00. It also upheld the unfair dismissal claim and ordered a compensatory award of £4,838.75 together with £500.00 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding net damages of £1,574.16. It held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered £1,556.61, and it found a breach of section 1 Employment Rights Act 1996 for failure to give written initial employment particulars, awarding £2,800.00.

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.
