Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the CVP hearing on 10 January 2023, with no appearance for the respondent, the tribunal held that each claimant had a well-founded claim for a redundancy payment and a well-founded claim for breach of contract in respect of notice pay. Mrs Cheryl Stake was awarded £4,275 in redundancy pay and £1,900 in notice pay; Mrs Gail Stoddard was awarded £1,311 in redundancy pay and £570 in notice pay; and Mrs Paula Ball was awarded £2,736 in redundancy pay and £1,520 in notice pay.
The tribunal also awarded each claimant two weeks' gross pay under section 38(3)(a)-(b) of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent failed to provide a statement of employment particulars. Those awards were £380 for Mrs Stake, £114 for Mrs Stoddard and £304 for Mrs Ball.
The judgment recorded total awards of £6,555 for Mrs Stake, £1,995 for Mrs Stoddard and £4,560 for Mrs Ball, making £13,110 in aggregate. The accompanying notice stated that interest would be payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the awards were not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day, 12 January 2023.

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.
