Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike-out judgment on the claimant's redundancy payment claim. By letter dated 5 December 2023, the tribunal gave James Forrest an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out, because the claim form indicated he had not been employed for two years or more.
The claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the redundancy payment claim. The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claim or claims would be listed for a preliminary hearing.

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.
