Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the claimant was employed by the First Respondent from 27 May 2014 until 22 March 2021. Although the liquidator's correspondence stated that she had been made redundant on 31 March 2020, the Tribunal found that her employment had not ended before she received the liquidator's letter on 22 March 2021.
The Tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy following the First Respondent's liquidation. She had six completed years of service, and because her weekly pay exceeded the statutory cap, her redundancy payment was calculated as six weeks at £538, totalling £3,228.
For holiday pay, the Tribunal found that the claimant had 33.5 days of outstanding entitlement, made up of 27.5 days for the 2020/2021 holiday year and six days carried forward from 2019/2020. Using daily gross pay of £110.77, it awarded £3,710.79. For notice pay, it found that her employment ended without notice and that she was entitled to six weeks' pay at £553.85 per week, totalling £3,323.10 for breach of contract.

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. See full methodology.
