Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Laura Gwynn, brought claims against HCP Primary Ltd for redundancy pay, breach of contract in relation to notice pay, and holiday pay. Employment Judge Rice-Birchall changed the respondent name to HCP Primary Ltd at the start of the judgment. The redundancy payment claim was dismissed because the tribunal found the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment and described that claim as not well founded.
The breach of contract complaint succeeded. The tribunal found that notice pay was due and awarded £3,400 as damages for breach of contract, calculating the figure using gross pay so as to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. The holiday pay complaint also succeeded. The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by not paying for holidays accrued but untaken when the claimant's employment ended, and awarded £775.12 as the net amount due.

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.
