Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely by CVP on 11 January 2021 before Employment Judge Cronin, with the claimant represented by Mrs J Marsland and no attendance or representation for the respondent. The tribunal recorded that a face-to-face hearing was not practicable and that all issues could be determined remotely.
The claimant succeeded in his statutory redundancy payment claim and was awarded £3,060. The unfair dismissal claim also succeeded, but the tribunal made no compensation award. It found the claimant was not entitled to a basic award because that was extinguished by the redundancy payment, and it made a 100% Polkey reduction to the compensatory award on the basis that the claimant would have been fairly dismissed in any event, even if a fair procedure had been followed.
The claimant also succeeded on his breach of contract claim relating to notice pay and was awarded a net sum of £1,428. The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £310. The total of the monetary awards recorded in the judgment was £4,798.

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.
