Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBoth Claimants, Mrs Yvonne Prideaux and Mrs Sandra Ann Riley, gave evidence in person. No ET3 response had been filed. Mrs S Bassford attended and said the Respondents did not contest the claims. The tribunal accepted the Claimants' evidence that they had each been employed for more than 12 years, that they were made redundant when the lease of the Post Office and Stores expired on 4 August 2020, and that they had not taken or been paid for holiday since 1 April 2020.
On redundancy, the tribunal found that C1 was entitled to £3,294.96, calculated on age 72 and 21 weeks' gross pay at £156.96 per week. It found that C2 was entitled to £1,962.00, calculated on age 56 and 22.5 weeks' gross pay at £87.20 per week.
On notice and holiday pay, the tribunal found that C1 was entitled to £1,876.32 notice pay and £505.04 holiday pay. For C2, the reasons section calculates notice pay at £1,046.40 and holiday pay at £281.66, although the award section records notice pay as £1,046.00 and the final payable total as £1,327.66. The judgment recorded the final order as payment to C1 of £2,381.36 and to C2 of £1,327.66 for notice and holiday pay, alongside the separate redundancy findings.

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.
