Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Housego, sitting at Cardiff by video, heard a claim by Paul Evans, the UK Finance Manager of Geesink Norba UK Ltd which had been placed into liquidation. The respondent did not attend and was not represented; the liquidator wrote to the Tribunal indicating any award would be an unsecured claim in the liquidation, which the judge took as consent for the claim to proceed.
The Claimant's contract entitled him to three months' notice from the first day of the calendar month after notice was given. He was dismissed with immediate effect on 23 April 2024 and the Insolvency Service paid one week's statutory notice pay (£523.36 net) under section 86(1)(a) Employment Rights Act 1996.
The Tribunal calculated three months' contractual notice as £14,375 gross (one quarter of £57,500), less seven days' pay already received (£1,102.72), giving an unpaid balance of £13,277.28. The award was made gross; the claimant would prove for the amount in the liquidation.

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.
