Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 29 July 2021, the tribunal recorded that the claimant did not attend and the respondent did not attend. The judgment states that the claim for notice pay had been withdrawn by email on 22 December 2020.
The respondent produced documentary evidence on 7 July 2021 showing that a redundancy payment had been made to the claimant on 24 April 2020, before the proceedings were issued. The claimant was invited to comment on that evidence but did not do so. The claimant’s representative came off the record on 28 July 2021.
The tribunal identified the only possible outstanding issue as a claim of procedurally unfair dismissal in respect of the redundancy. Because the claimant did not attend to pursue the claim, the tribunal dismissed the claim.

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.
