Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge made a determination under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the claimant, Mrs S Quraishi, succeeded on the claims determined in the judgment.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £6,092.35, calculated at £553.85 x 11 weeks. It also ordered £1,107.70 for failure to provide written reasons for the dismissal, calculated at £553.85 x 2 weeks. The judgment records that the notice award was a net sum based on gross pay because it was likely to be subject to tax as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The unfair dismissal complaint also succeeded. Compensation was assessed at £11,660.78, consisting of a basic award of £8,704 and a compensatory award of £2,956.78. The compensatory element was made up of £2,456.78 for loss of earnings from the end of the notice period on 21 January 2022 to 28 February 2022, and £500 for loss of statutory rights.
No uplift for failure to comply with an ACAS Code of Practice was awarded because the Employment Judge was not satisfied that there was an applicable Code of Practice. The recoupment section records a prescribed element of £2,456.78 for the period 22 January 2022 to 28 February 2022, with an excess of £9,204. The hearing listed for 30 August 2022 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.
