Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was entered under Rule 21 because the Respondent did not present a response within the stipulated time. Judgment was therefore given in default.
The tribunal found that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It also found that she was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the Respondent failed to comply with collective redundancy procedures, and that she was entitled to loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal further found that the Respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages and that the Claimant was entitled to unpaid holiday accrued at the effective date of termination. The total award stated by the tribunal was £21,271.46.

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.
