Declan James Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was decided under Rule 21. The tribunal found that Mrs C Grove had been unfairly dismissed by Declan James Limited, and also found that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay her holiday entitlement.

The tribunal dismissed the claim for unauthorised deductions in respect of expenses because it said it did not have jurisdiction to consider that claim. The judgment states that the successful claims would proceed to a Remedy Hearing, so no monetary awards were fixed in this 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.
