Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Siddall, sitting at Croydon on 11 June 2024, heard the claim of Mrs B Montaut against Harold George Limited. The Claimant appeared in person; the Respondent did not appear and was not represented. The tribunal found that the Claimant had been unfairly dismissed and that her complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded and succeeded.
The tribunal calculated a basic award of £18,325.50 based on the Claimant's continuous employment starting on 1 April 1997, her age of 58 at the date of termination, twenty-five years' completed service, and weekly gross pay of £702. A compensatory award of £4,220 was made, comprising £3,580 for loss of earnings over 15.5 weeks from 21 June to 7 October 2023 at a net weekly loss of £231, and £640 for loss of statutory rights. The total award was £22,545.50.
The Claimant's separate claim for a redundancy payment was found not to be well founded and did not succeed. The claim for unlawful deduction from wages was dismissed upon withdrawal.

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.
