Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment. The claimant, Mr P Crabtree, brought claims for a statutory redundancy payment, unfair dismissal, and age discrimination in relation to the failure to pay his redundancy payment. The tribunal noted that a response had been submitted but the claims were not defended, and the information on the file was sufficient to determine the claims.
The tribunal held that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment and ordered the respondent, Heights UK Ltd, to pay £9,342 gross. It also found that the reason for termination of employment was redundancy, so the unfair dismissal complaint was well founded.
On remedy for unfair dismissal, the tribunal stated that it made no further awards in that respect. Separately, it found the age discrimination complaint well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1,000 for injury to feelings arising from treatment in respect of payment of a redundancy payment. The listed hearing on 22 September 2020 was cancelled and the proceedings were brought to an end.

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.
