Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 response to the claim issued on 21 December 2022. Employment Judge James therefore determined that the claim could properly be decided without a hearing under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The respondent’s name was amended to Wiggles and Giggles Nursery Limited.
The tribunal held that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay the claimant wages, notice pay and redundancy pay, and also ordered payment of accrued holiday pay. The award was broken down as £100 for two days' unpaid wages, £1,000 for five weeks' notice pay, £500 for two and a half weeks' redundancy pay, £630 for seven days' holiday pay accrued while the claimant was on maternity leave, and £200 for four days' holiday pay accrued after she returned on part-time hours.
The total amount ordered was £2,430. The listed hearing was vacated and the claimant was told not to attend.

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.
