1. Mr D Lee 2. Mr G Bolton v Reeds Garage Limited — 2025

In the joined judgment for cases 2406750/2024 and 2406751/2024, the tribunal made a rule 22 determination after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the hearing listed for 28 and 29 October 2025 was cancelled. This record concerns Mr D Lee's claim. The tribunal found that Reeds Garage Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from wages of £640.23 and had failed to pay holiday entitlement of £896.32.

The tribunal also found that Mr D Lee was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £11,524.14, calculated as 18 years x 1 x £640.23. The unfair dismissal complaint was well-founded and the tribunal held that he had been unfairly dismissed, but no basic award was made because it had been extinguished by the redundancy payment.

On notice, the tribunal found that Mr D Lee had been dismissed in breach of contract and awarded damages of £2,560.92, being four weeks' gross pay at £640.23 per week. The judgment states that this was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. The total gross sum payable to Mr D Lee was £15,621.61.
