Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunal on 17 April 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21. The judgment also records that The Great Yorkshire Brewery Limited was added as respondent in substitution for The Great Yorkshire Brewery under rule 34.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £4,251.26. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £386.51. Both findings were entered in a default judgment.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £5,018.00. The judgment states that this figure was calculated on the basis of 12 years' continuous employment, split between 10 years below age 41 and 2 years above age 41, and a final gross weekly salary of £386. The listed hearing on 7 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.
