Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the respondent dismissed Mr P Scholey by reason of redundancy on 24 April 2020. It also found that he was not dismissed for a reason connected with his membership of a reserve force under section 374 of the Armed Forces Act 2006.
The unfair dismissal complaint failed because the claimant had less than two years' continuity of service. The tribunal also recorded that there was no claim that the selection for redundancy was for any of the matters set out in section 105 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The wrongful dismissal complaint succeeded. The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to four weeks' notice under his contract, that the respondent had summarily dismissed him, and that only one week's pay in lieu had been paid. It ordered the respondent to pay £1,731, representing three weeks' gross pay, on or before 26 January 2021.

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.
