Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined under rule 21 because the respondent, ORCA Doors Limited (in voluntary liquidation), failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Bright recorded that a determination could properly be made on the claim, or part of it, under the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in relation to notice pay and ordered the respondent to pay damages of £10,380.00. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,245.60.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £9,992.50. The hearing listed for 28 September 2022 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.
