Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs M Webb brought claims including redundancy payment, unlawful deduction of wages, and a complaint that the respondent had failed to comply with s188 in relation to the closure of Barham House. The redundancy payment claim was dismissed upon withdrawal.
The tribunal found the unlawful deduction of wages complaint well-founded. It related to 18 hours' pay, and the tribunal awarded the claimant £288, subject to deductions for tax and National Insurance.
The tribunal also declared that the respondent had failed to comply with s188 and exercised its discretion to make a protective award in respect of the employees dismissed because of the closure of Barham House. The protected period was 6 weeks.
For that protective award, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £3,456, calculated at £576 for each of the 6 weeks. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
