Muriel Hodgson

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a remote hearing on 24 September 2021 before Employment Judge Warren, with the respondent not in attendance, the tribunal upheld the claimant’s breach of contract claim. It found that Muriel Hodgson failed to give Miss D Berragan one week’s notice of dismissal and ordered compensation of £346.

The tribunal also upheld the claimant’s claim in relation to accrued untaken annual leave. It found that, at the date of dismissal, she had 11 days’ untaken annual leave for which she had not been compensated, and ordered £832 in compensation. The judgment records a total award of £1,178.

The written notice appended to the judgment states the tribunal interest regime, including that sums unpaid after 14 days may carry interest at the stipulated rate, but the judgment itself does not award a separate interest sum.

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.
