Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting in chambers and determining the case on the papers before Employment Judge A M Snelson on 8 June 2020, dismissed the claims against the Second and Third Respondents and allowed the Claimant's monetary claims against the First Respondent. It found that the Claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment, compensation for wrongful dismissal, compensation for outstanding annual leave on termination, and compensation for unauthorised deductions from wages.
The redundancy payment was assessed at £6,300. The judgment records that the Claimant's calculation had overlooked the statutory maximum week's pay of £525. The wrongful dismissal award was £3,806.77, representing eight weeks' net pay. The holiday pay award was £1,386.67, representing 13 days' gross pay, and the unlawful deduction award was £110.22, representing the net pay deducted.
The separate claim for £150 described as loss of service charge was not established. The tribunal noted that income tax and National Insurance contributions may be payable on the holiday pay award and that, if appropriate deductions are made and accounted for, payment of the net sum will discharge the judgment.

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.
