Mrs H Dudley v Deneka-Jo Molinari HELD by CVP at Leeds — 2025

The claimant, Mrs H Dudley, brought claims for redundancy payment and notice pay against Deneka-Jo Molinari. The respondent did not appear, was not represented, and did not file a response. The tribunal first resolved the identity of the respondent, finding on the evidence that the correct name was Deneka-Jo Molinari.

On the redundancy claim, the tribunal found that the claimant was made redundant on 23 March 2024. It accepted that she had worked in the public house since 23 November 2011, that her gross weekly wage was £145.88, and that she was 61 years old at the date of termination. Applying those facts, the tribunal held that she was entitled to a redundancy payment and fixed that award at £2,625.84.

On the notice pay claim, the tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to 12 weeks' notice but had received only 2 weeks' notice. It therefore held that 10 weeks remained unpaid at the claimant's gross weekly rate of £145.88, producing an award of £1,458.80. The judgment recorded a total amount payable of £4,084.64, made up of the redundancy payment and the outstanding notice pay.
