Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the North West Employment Tribunals on 14 July 2023. The respondent, Precious Moments Childcare Limited (in creditors’ voluntary liquidation), failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Slater decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal recorded that the complaint of unfair dismissal succeeded. The judgment did not set out the substantive facts of the dismissal or any contested evidence, because the matter was decided by default under rule 21 rather than after a full merits hearing.
The tribunal did not determine remedy in this judgment. It stated that the claimant’s remedy would be decided in a separate rule 21 judgment or at a remedy hearing, and it cancelled the hearing listed for 8 November 2023.

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.
