Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was given in default under rule 21 because the Respondent did not present a response within the stipulated time. The tribunal found that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment.
The tribunal also found that the Claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the Respondent failed to comply with collective redundancy procedures, that unauthorised deductions had been made from wages, and that unpaid holiday had accrued at the effective date of termination.
The awards made were £2,550.00 for redundancy pay, £1,700.00 for notice damages, £9,562.50 for failure to comply with collective redundancy procedures, £850.00 for loss of statutory rights, £2,068.25 for unauthorised deductions, and £786.25 for unpaid holiday. The printed total appears as £17.517.00, and the component figures sum to £17,517.00.

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.
