Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Nicklin, sitting remotely by CVP on 2 December 2021, heard the claimant in person and recorded no attendance for the respondent. The judgment states that the claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was well founded. The tribunal awarded compensation for loss of earnings of £142.50, subject to any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance.
The tribunal also held that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment. That payment was calculated at £142.50 weekly pay multiplied by 10, producing an award of £1,425.
On the contractual claim, the tribunal found that the claimant had been wrongfully dismissed because she had not been paid notice pay, which was described as a breach of contract. It awarded notice pay of £1,425, again subject to any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance.
The tribunal recorded a total sum payable by the respondent of £2,992.50, less any applicable deductions for tax and/or National Insurance in respect of the notice pay and loss of earnings award.

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.
