Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Liverpool on 15 August 2023, Employment Judge Aspinall heard Mr Michael Wilson's claims against Amazing Glazing (Widnes) Limited. The respondent did not attend and had not filed a response. Mr Wilson said he had worked for the respondent as a window fitter for eight years and was made redundant by text message on 9 February 2023. The tribunal found his unfair dismissal claim well founded and it succeeded.
The tribunal also found his breach of contract claim for notice pay well founded because he was dismissed without notice. It further found that his claims for outstanding holiday pay and for unauthorised deductions from wages were well founded. The unauthorised deductions claim covered the week in hand and his final week's pay, which the tribunal said were wages properly payable to him.
The tribunal ordered payment of £9,868 in total. This comprised a basic award of £3,420, a compensatory award of £400 for loss of statutory rights because no lost earnings were claimed, £2,847 for eight weeks' notice pay, £855 for two weeks' unpaid wages, and £2,346 for outstanding holiday pay calculated on 28 days carried over by consent. The written record also contained an interest notice stating that interest would run from 31 August 2023 at 8% per annum if the award was not paid within 14 days, but no separate interest figure was stated in 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.
