Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal entered judgment without a contested hearing and cancelled the hearing listed for 22 December 2022.
The tribunal found that Mr G Brookfield had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £4,322.00, reflecting 12 weeks' statutory notice at £361 per week. It also found that he had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £9,205.50, calculated as 1.5 weeks for each complete year of service when aged over 40, using 17 completed years of service.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,083.00, representing 3 weeks at £361 per week. The total sum ordered was £14,610.50, payable within fourteen days of the judgment.

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.
