Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Anderson, sitting alone in Manchester via CVP on 4 November 2022, amended the respondent's title to Kirkby Blinds Direct Limited (In Voluntary Liquidation). The tribunal held that the complaints of unfair dismissal, notice pay, and unlawful deduction from wages in respect of holiday pay were well founded, but it made no additional award on those heads because the claimant had already received payments from the Redundancy Payment Office.
The tribunal also found that there had been an unlawful deduction from wages in respect of underpayment of salary and ordered the respondent to pay £465.36, calculated on a net basis. Separately, it found that the claimant did not have a written set of terms and conditions and made an award of two weeks' gross pay under s.38 Employment Act 2002, quantified at £1,032.00.
The written record states that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The judgment also includes an interest notice, but it does not set out any quantified interest award.

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.
