Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to enter a response to the claimant's claims. The tribunal noted an earlier order informing the respondent that, under Rule 21(3), it would only be entitled to participate to the extent permitted by the judge. At the hearing the claimant did not attend and remedy documents were not available, so the tribunal did not determine compensation at that stage.
The respondent raised issues about correspondence being sent to an incomplete address and about staffing at its registered office during the Covid-19 lockdown, but Mr Wilmoth then told the tribunal that the respondent accepted the claimant's ET1 submissions and did not seek to contest them. On that basis, the tribunal recorded that the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract and unpaid annual leave succeeded.
The case was listed for a separate remedy hearing at the first available date in the tribunal's calendar, with a time estimate of three hours, and the respondent was told it could participate in the determination of remedy. No monetary award was made in this 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.
