Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard at Croydon (by video) on 30 August 2024 before Employment Judge E Fowell. The claimant, Miss Kristina Sawyers, appeared in person and the respondent, Little Kingdom Childminding Limited, did not appear. The tribunal issued judgment on the claimant's claims for a statutory redundancy payment and breach of contract in respect of notice pay.
The tribunal found the claimant entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,104, equating to two weeks' gross pay, calculated on the basis of 3 years' service (two years completed before the age of 22, attracting half a week's pay each, and one year above the age of 22, attracting one further week's pay). The tribunal also found the claimant entitled to £1,656 as compensation for breach of contract covering her 3-week notice period, payable without deduction of tax and national insurance, with the claimant responsible for accounting to HMRC.
The total sum the respondent was held liable to pay the claimant was £2,760. The judgment as published contains the decision only and does not set out separate reasons or cite legal tests by name.

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.
