Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Porter, sitting alone in Manchester on 14 December 2020, found that Mrs C Entwistle had been unfairly dismissed by Miller Metcalfe Estate Agents Limited (in creditor’s voluntary liquidation). The tribunal awarded a compensatory award rather than a basic award, stating that the claimant was not entitled to a basic award because she had already been paid a redundancy payment.
The compensatory award for unfair dismissal was £1,945.76. That figure was made up of £1,445.76 net loss of earnings from termination of employment until 29 January 2020 and £500 for loss of statutory rights. The tribunal also recorded that the recoupment regulations did not apply.
Separately, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages by failing to pay wages for 7, 8 and 9 December 2019, and ordered payment of £280.20 gross. It also found that the respondent failed to pay the correct amount of outstanding holiday pay on termination and ordered payment of £51.35 gross.

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.
