Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr R Kidd's claims were heard by Employment Judge Batten sitting alone in Manchester on 17 February 2021. The respondent, Bury Football Club Limited (in Administration), did not attend. The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal complaint was well-founded and that the dismissal was due to redundancy.
On remedy for unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £3,937.50 and a compensatory award of £9,000.00. The judgment also states that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract and ordered the respondent to pay £3,513.67 net in respect of notice entitlement, comprising £3,283.67 net pay and £230.00 for provision of a mobile phone.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had no accrued unused holiday entitlement at the termination of his employment, so no holiday payment was due. The judgment also includes an interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, but it does not quantify any separate interest sum in the decision text.

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.
