Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Mrs Jacqueline Walmsley, was made redundant with effect from 13 January 2023. The hearing proceeded in the absence of the respondents pursuant to rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal's Rules of Procedure 2013, the hearing being conducted remotely by Cloud Video Platform.

The Tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £2,052.00 pursuant to section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The first respondent, Brookhouse Assets Limited, was ordered to pay this sum under section 170 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

In the event the first respondent did not meet that obligation, the second respondent, the Secretary of State for the Department of Business and Trade, was ordered to pay the claimant her statutory redundancy pay of £2,052.00 under section 166(1)(a) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Written reasons were not provided as oral reasons were given at the hearing and no request for written reasons was indicated.

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.
