Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs C Hare brought claims against Coolertech Ltd, heard by video on 1 November 2022 before Employment Judge Corrigan. The respondent did not appear and entered no response. The tribunal found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed, but no separate award was made for that claim.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £8,461.64 and had been wrongfully dismissed without notice, with notice pay awarded at £3,955.08. Those awards were recorded separately from the unfair dismissal finding.
The claim for unlawful deduction of wages was found well-founded. The award was £5,084.60, subject to deductions for tax and National Insurance, and the tribunal identified the components as furlough payments for January and February 2021, employer furlough contributions for July 2021 and for August to September 2021, an additional amount for 33 days of annual leave up to 30 April 2021 that should have been paid at 100%, and pay for 1 to 19 October 2021.
The tribunal further found the claimant’s accrued holiday pay claim well-founded and awarded £923.04 for annual leave accrued but not taken at termination, also subject to deductions for tax and National Insurance. The total sum ordered to be paid was £18,424.36, subject to tax and National Insurance as stated in the judgment.

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.
