Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made under Rule 21 in chambers, with neither party in attendance. The tribunal found the claimant's claims for unpaid wages, notice pay, and accrued but untaken holiday pay to be well-founded, ordering the respondent to pay £1,346.15 gross, £673.08 gross, and £269.23 respectively.
The tribunal also found well-founded the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the respondent failed to comply with section 188. It made a protective award under section 189(3) for the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14 and 30 September 2023, equivalent to 30 days' remuneration beginning on 30 September 2023. The Recoupment Regulations apply to that award.

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.
