Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal proceeded under rule 21 because the respondent did not present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Phil Allen determined the claim without a hearing.

The judge found that Mr P Smith was dismissed by reason of redundancy and that he was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,928.00. The judgment also included the standard interest notice stating that interest would be payable if the sum was not paid in full within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties.

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.
