Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 13 January 2022. The respondent, John Abbott (Flooring Contractors) Limited, did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided the matter under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without the listed hearing on 29 June 2022 going ahead.
The tribunal found that Mr B Risby was dismissed by reason of redundancy. On that basis, it held that he was entitled to a redundancy payment of £12,784. The judgment does not break the award down into separate components beyond that redundancy payment figure.

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.
