Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claims arose from the same facts and were consolidated. The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaints for all three claimants because each had more than one month but less than two years' continuous service, so the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear them. Claimants 1 and 3's redundancy payment claims were also struck out for the same jurisdictional reason. Claimant 1's holiday pay claim was dismissed on withdrawal.
The tribunal held that the claimants' breach of contract/wrongful dismissal claims and unlawful deductions from wages claims were well-founded and succeeded. It found that each claimant had a statutory right to one week's notice but a contractual right to three months' notice, and that each claimant was owed five weeks' pay at the date their employment ended.
The respondent was ordered to pay Claimant 1 £19,999.54, Claimant 2 £17,350.59, and Claimant 3 £13,562.52. The judgment records these sums as three months' net pay and five weeks' net pay for each claimant, and it does not split the figures between the two successful claim types.

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.
