Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Hull on 1 August 2019 before Employment Judge T R Smith. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £157 as the shortfall between the redundancy payment already made and the sum due under section 162 ERA 1996, and it made a compensatory award of £2,440, which indicates success on the unfair dismissal aspect of the case.
The tribunal also ordered £628 as damages for breach of contract in respect of notice pay. In addition, it awarded £626.40 because, when proceedings were commenced, the respondent was in breach of its duty under section 1(1) ERA 1996; the judgment records this as an award in proceedings falling within Schedule 5 of the Employment Act 2002. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 were held not to apply.

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.
