Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 21 because the Respondent had not presented a response within the stipulated time, and judgment was 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 the dismissal was in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the Respondent failed to comply with collective redundancy procedures giving rise to a protective award, and that unauthorised deductions had been made from wages.
The tribunal ordered payments of £2,625 for redundancy pay, £2,625 for notice damages, £10,344.60 as a protective award, £1,050 for loss of statutory rights, and £3,641.51 for unauthorised deductions, producing a total award of £20,286.11.

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.
