Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remote hearing on 1 April 2021, Employment Judge P Klimov, sitting alone, found that Emex Software Limited was in breach of contract in five respects. The tribunal held that the claimant, Mr S. Hayles, had been dismissed without six months' notice and that the respondent had also failed to pay his salary for the period from 1 September to 2 October 2020, failed to make pension contributions for that period, failed to pay for accrued but untaken holiday, and failed to reimburse business expenses.
The judgment records that the tribunal awarded damages of £25,000 for the breach of contract. No separate breakdown of the award is given between the various heads of loss, and the written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and were not separately provided in writing.

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.
