In person For the v None — 2021

The written judgment states that, for reasons given orally on 29 September 2021, the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was well founded and succeeded. The respondent was in voluntary liquidation and the hearing was before Employment Judge Dobbie sitting alone by video at London South Employment Tribunals.

The tribunal awarded a basic award of £4,075.50, calculated on 19 complete years' service, including one year when the claimant was aged over 41, using a multiplier of 19.5 at £209.00 per week. It also awarded a compensatory award of £2,276.50.

The claimant's notice pay claim also succeeded. The tribunal calculated damages for notice pay at £1,776.50, based on 8.5 weeks at £209.00 per week, but recorded that this loss of income was already compensated within the compensatory award and should not be paid twice. The compensatory award was said to comprise £1,776.50 for loss of income plus £500.00 for loss of statutory rights. The written judgment also states that, if the claimant cannot recover the compensatory award from the respondent in liquidation, she may apply to recover damages for notice pay and the basic award from the National Insurance Fund.
