Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent, the tribunal recorded that the unlawful deduction of wages claim had been satisfied and was dismissed on withdrawal by the claimant. The decision is dated 24 November 2023 and was made by Employment Judge Shotter. The hearing listed for 4 December 2023 was vacated.
The tribunal recorded that Lisa Brightwell, aged 47, was employed by Totalpost Mailing Ltd from 18 May 2007 until the effective date of termination on 28 April 2023, when she was dismissed by reason of redundancy. On that basis, she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £11,020, calculated in the judgment as 19 weeks at £580 per week.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was entitled to be paid for 11 days of accrued but untaken holiday at termination, and that the holiday pay claim was well-founded. It ordered payment of £999.35 net, using the figures stated in the judgment, including a net monthly rate of £1,817 and a daily rate of £90.85.
Finally, the tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to 12 weeks' unpaid notice and that the wrongful dismissal claim was well-founded. It ordered the respondent to pay £5,451 net for notice pay, calculated at £454.25 per week. The monetary awards stated in the judgment total £17,470.35.

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.
