Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge made a rule 21 determination after finding that the respondent had failed to present a valid response on time. The judgment records that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy, and that the hearing listed for 15 November 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal awarded the claimant a redundancy payment of £1,054.59. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered the respondent to pay damages of £1,406.52.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £345.37. A separate notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 stated that interest would be payable at 8% per annum from 21 October 2022 if the sums were not paid within 14 days of the decision being sent to the parties.

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.
