Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting before Employment Judge Rogerson on 22 November 2019, recorded that the claimant was in person and that the respondent did not attend. It upheld the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay and awarded the claimant £393 gross, together with a 25% uplift of £98 under section 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 because of the respondent’s unreasonable failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice. The total awarded for that claim was £491.
The tribunal also upheld the complaint of unpaid wages in respect of holiday pay. It awarded £131 gross and applied the same 25% section 207A uplift of £33, producing a total of £164. The complaint of unfair dismissal also succeeded. For that claim the tribunal awarded £3,263, comprised of a basic award of £643, loss of statutory rights of £250, and a compensatory award of £2,620, then increased the compensatory award by 25% under section 207A by £655. The total unfair dismissal award was £3,918.

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.
