Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Sheffield by CVP on 16 November 2023 before Employment Judge Brain, heard from the claimant in person and recorded no attendance or representation for the respondent. It found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 31 July 2023 and ordered a statutory redundancy payment of £3,640. The award was calculated using a gross weekly wage of £520, the claimant's age of 45 on 31 July 2023, and five years' continuous service.
The tribunal also found that the respondent terminated the claimant's employment without notice in circumstances where he was not liable to summary dismissal. It therefore held that he had been wrongfully dismissed and awarded £2,600 in damages, described as the equivalent of five weeks' notice pay.
In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant had 7.33 days of holiday accrued but untaken as at 31 July 2023 and ordered payment of £762.33 for that entitlement. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
