Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms S A Accilen, brought complaints of failure to pay wages, holiday pay and redundancy pay against the Redundancy Payments Service. By a letter dated 4 April 2023, the Tribunal gave her an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why those complaints should not be struck out.
The Tribunal said the redundancy pay complaint was said to be barred because, under section 155 of the Employment Rights Act, the claimant had been employed for less than two years and therefore did not have entitlement to bring a redundancy payment claim. The Tribunal also stated that the complaints against the Redundancy Payments Service had no reasonable prospects of success for the reasons set out in its letter dated 30 May 2023.
The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Rogerson struck out the complaints of failure to pay wages, holiday pay and redundancy pay on 31 May 2023.

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.
