Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response within the stipulated time, and judgment was given in default under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
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 claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the respondent failed to comply with collective redundancy procedures, and that a protective award was due.
The tribunal further found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages and that the claimant was owed unpaid holiday accrued at the effective date of termination. The total award ordered was £11,466.59.

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.
