Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was given in default under Rule 21 because the respondent had not presented a response within the stipulated time.
The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the respondent failed to comply with collective redundancy procedures, that unauthorised deductions from wages had been made, and that unpaid holiday had accrued at the effective date of termination.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £4,500.02 as a redundancy payment, £2,769.24 for breach of contract notice damages, £4,153.50 as a protective award, £461.54 for loss of statutory rights, £784.55 for unauthorised deductions from wages, and £341.51 for unpaid holiday, making a total award of £13,010.36.

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.
