Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented on 4 February 2024. The respondent did not present a valid response in time, so Employment Judge Bright determined the matter under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 on the papers. No other hearing issues or findings are recorded in the judgment text provided.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £5,466.04 gross, stating that the sum was gross to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would be required to pay tax on it as post-employment notice pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £669.24 gross for that head of claim. The judgment records a total award of £6,135.28 and states that the hearing listed for 19 September 2024 was cancelled.

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.
