Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Kendall's claim was heard alone by CVP on 3 April 2023 because the respondent had filed no response, was in administration, and did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the administrators had no objection to a hearing taking place, but made no admissions. The case proceeded as a final merits hearing for Mr Kendall's freestanding claim only.
The tribunal held that the claimant's claims for wrongful dismissal, breach of contract, and unlawful deduction from wages under s.13(1) ERA 1996 were well founded. It ordered the respondent to pay a gross sum of £12,660.32, comprising £1,615.39 unpaid wages for 1 to 9 June 2022, £6.46 reimbursement for use of a private telephone on company business, £1,038.47 accrued holiday outstanding at termination, £5,000 payment in lieu of notice, and £5,000 contractual redundancy payment.
The tribunal noted that the gross sum could be reduced by national insurance and income tax in line with the respondent's payslip for the pay period to 30 June 2022. Mr Kendall's claim for consequential losses was dismissed on withdrawal.

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.
