Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claims against the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth respondents. It upheld the claims against the seventh respondent, Boxes R US Ltd, for unlawful deduction from wages, holiday pay, notice pay, redundancy pay, and failure to provide written particulars of employment. The orders recorded payments of £1,615.10 gross for unlawful deduction from wages, £72.94 gross for holiday pay, £807.55 gross for notice pay, £807.55 for redundancy pay, and £1,615.10 for failure to provide written particulars.
The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed. The tribunal stated that the claimant was made redundant as a result of the closure of the seventh respondent’s business and that redundancy was a fair reason for dismissal. It also said that the loss of statutory rights claim could only arise as part of a compensatory award if unfair dismissal had been established, so that aspect failed as well.
The total monetary award recorded by the figures in the judgment is £4,918.24. The judgment also included an interest notice stating that interest would run from 2 August 2024 at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum, but it did not state any separate interest amount in the decision itself.

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.
