Mrs H White v Mayfair Residential Care Home Ltd — 2022

This was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Maidment on 23 December 2022 in respect of claims brought by Mrs H White against Mayfair Residential Care Home Ltd. The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered the respondent to pay damages of £865.38 (based on a gross weekly pay of £288.46). The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,298.07, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, ordering payment of £1,096.14.

The claim of unfair dismissal succeeded. However, the tribunal made no compensatory award, on the basis that the claimant had already been awarded damages in respect of her notice period and giving credit for the amount paid by the respondent. No basic award arose in light of the declaration of entitlement to a redundancy payment. A hearing listed for 14 March 2023 was cancelled.
