Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Ms Suzanne Hill was made redundant by email at 13:24 on 20 February 2023 after 18 years' service as a part-time bookkeeper. On that basis, her unfair dismissal claim was held to be well founded and succeeded. The respondent did not attend, had not filed a response, and did not make representations at the remedy hearing.
The judgment also found that the claimant was dismissed without notice, so her breach of contract claim for notice pay was well founded and succeeded. The remedy section records that the basic award was calculated by reference to 18 years' service and a gross weekly pay figure of £130, producing £3,315.
The compensatory award was assessed at £1,020, comprising £520 for the one month the tribunal considered it would have taken the respondent to carry out a fair redundancy dismissal and £500 for loss of statutory rights after 18 years' service. The notice pay element was calculated separately at £1,244, based on 12 weeks' notice at £103.70 net per week and the statutory cap on notice.

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.
