Case No. 2406686/2024 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Ms. S. Summersgill
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJudge Callan, sitting alone at Manchester (by CVP), found the claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay a basic award/redundancy payment of £6,750. The respondent did not attend and had not presented a response form. Claims for 10 days’ accrued but untaken holiday pay (£900) and two breach of contract claims also succeeded: unpaid employer pension contributions of 3% from May 2023 to dismissal (£877.50) and unpaid agreed car lease reimbursements for June to August 2024 (£1,350).
Following dismissal the claimant obtained alternative employment from 8 March 2025. The tribunal awarded compensation for losses of salary and benefits from 1 September 2024 to 8 March 2025, a period of 27 weeks: £12,150 gross salary, £364.50 employer pension contributions, and £1,800 for loss of the car benefit (four months, the claimant having replaced the lease on more favourable terms from January 2025). The total compensatory sum ordered was £14,314.50.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. A statutory interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was issued, with the relevant decision day recorded as 16 September 2025 and the stipulated rate of 8% per annum.

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.
