Mr J Benton Second Claimant: Ms J Duhigg
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment after no response was received from the Respondent, Afterthought Group Limited. The tribunal therefore entered judgment in favour of both claimants and made monetary awards on the heads set out in the judgment.
Mr Benton was awarded £684.77 for arrears of pay and consequential losses and £423.06 for pay for holiday accrued but untaken at the date of termination of employment. His total award was £1107.83 gross.
Ms Duhigg was awarded £971.16 gross for three weeks' notice pay by way of damages for breach of contract. The judgment states that this figure was calculated from £1528.86 less a payment of £557.70 already made by the Respondent. She was also awarded £865.12 for arrears of pay and consequential losses and £854.09 for holiday accrued but untaken at termination.
The total sum awarded to Ms Duhigg was £2690.38 gross. The judgment does not set out further substantive reasoning beyond the Rule 21 default awards.

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.
