Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the case under Rule 21 after the respondent, Lincolnshire Salad Company Ltd (in creditors’ voluntary liquidation), did not file a response form. The judgment notes that the proceedings were posted to the respondent and no post was returned, and that the respondent had commenced winding up two days before the claim was presented. The judge said there was sufficient information on the file to give judgment.
The claimant’s statutory redundancy payment claim succeeded, and the tribunal awarded £14,913.52. The claimant’s complaint of breach of contract/entitlement to notice pay also succeeded. For that claim the tribunal awarded gross damages of £1,142.46, identified as two weeks’ notice pay before loss was mitigated.
The unfair dismissal claim succeeded as well. The tribunal awarded a compensatory award of £500, limited to loss of statutory rights only. The judgment states that the recoupment regulations did not apply to the awards, and that an ACAS uplift did not apply to redundancy dismissals.

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.
