Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was a Rule 21 judgment under the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The Tribunal held that Mr N Cross was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered Bonmarche Limited (in administration) to pay damages of £5,052.32.
The Tribunal also held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and ordered a compensatory award of £2,612.12. The judgment states that this sum included compensation for loss of statutory rights, employer pension contributions and loss of company car.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,575. The judgment records that this had been paid by the Secretary of State on the basis of a maximum week's pay of £525 for redundancy pay purposes.
The Tribunal declared that the respondent failed to comply with sections 188 and 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It made a protective award requiring the respondent to pay remuneration to the claimant, who was dismissed as redundant on 29 October 2019, for a period of 90 days beginning on 29 October 2019; no quantified protective award total is stated.

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.
