Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was entered under Rule 21 because the Respondent had not presented a response within the stipulated time. Judgment was therefore given in default.
The Tribunal recorded that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It also found dismissal in breach of contract in respect of notice, failure to comply with collective redundancy procedures giving rise to a protective award, loss of statutory rights, unauthorised deductions from wages, and unpaid holiday accrued at termination.
The Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the listed sums for those matters, with a total award of £13,010.36.

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.
