Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard at Manchester by video on 22 and 23 May 2025 before Employment Judge Barker. The tribunal held that Mr J Bangura was not dismissed by reason of redundancy. On that basis, his redundancy payment claim failed and was dismissed.

The tribunal also held that the Ministry of Defence had not made unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages in respect of holiday pay. The holiday pay claim therefore failed and was dismissed. The judgment was given orally at the hearing, with the written record sent to the parties on 27 June 2025.

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.
