Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place in Liverpool on 20 March 2025 before Employment Judge Shotter. Neither party attended. The tribunal recorded that the correct respondent was TLK Automotive Solutions Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation), and that the claim for a redundancy payment was dismissed against TLK Automotive Limited.
Applying section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. It found that the claimant was 59 years old at the effective date of termination, 2 February 2024, and awarded £1,560 gross, calculated as £520 gross per week multiplied by 3.

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.
