Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Andrews determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure following the respondent's failure to present a valid response on time. The judge found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment.
The redundancy payment of £1,630.43 gross was calculated using the claimant's gross weekly wage of £217.39, age of 61 and 5 years of service at the date of dismissal. The claimant was directed to account to HMRC for any sums owed in respect of payments under the judgment.

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.
