Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment because the respondent did not submit a response by the deadline of 27 March 2024. On that basis, the tribunal found that Ms A Vaughan had been unfairly dismissed by A and F Ventures Ltd. It ordered compensation for unfair dismissal made up of a basic award of £3,282.30 and a compensatory award of £500 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal limited the unfair dismissal compensation because the claimant had been unfit to attend work from April 2023 and remained unfit to work as at 13 February 2024, when she presented her claim. It said compensation for loss of earnings could not be awarded because the evidence showed that she would not have been able to work regardless of the unfair dismissal.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of the gross sum of £3,327.24, in accordance with the claimant’s calculation. It noted that there was no claim in the proceedings for unpaid wages, whether during any period of notice or otherwise, and no claim for breach of contract. The hearing listed for 24 December 2024 was cancelled.

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.
