Mr M Braithwaite
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge made a Rule 21 determination because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the tribunal proceeded to determine the claim in the respondent's absence.
The tribunal found that Mr M Braithwaite had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. The award was calculated at £1,788.75, using 1.5 weeks for every complete year of service when the claimant was not below the age of 41, expressed in the judgment as 3 x 1.5 x £397.50.
The judgment also included a statutory interest notice stating that interest would be payable on an award unless paid in full within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties. It recorded the relevant decision day as 15 December 2022, the calculation day as 16 December 2022, and the stipulated rate of interest as 8% per annum, but it did not set out a separate interest amount.

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.
