Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so Employment Judge Maidment proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On the papers, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered the respondent to pay £2,772 in damages.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £4,389. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £546. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because it had been withdrawn, and the hearing listed for 9 August 2023 was cancelled.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.
