Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal made a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Phil Allen determined the claim without a contested hearing and recorded that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that Ms J Walsh had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £5,181.96, which the judgment says was based on 12 weeks' statutory notice at £431.83 per week.
The tribunal also found that Ms Walsh was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £10,579.84. In addition, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £332.85.
The written record includes the standard tribunal interest notice. It states that interest may be payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if an award remains unpaid after 14 days from the relevant decision day, but the judgment does not set out any separate quantified interest award. The total of the substantive sums recorded in the judgment is £16,094.65.

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.
