Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment made in the absence of any response form from the respondent. The tribunal recorded that Mrs M Hodgson succeeded on notice pay for breach of contract, redundancy pay, unpaid holiday entitlement, and a statutory award for failure to provide a written statement of main terms. The amounts ordered were £236.46 net for notice pay, £295.56 for redundancy, £551.71 gross for holiday entitlement, and £315.28 for four weeks' pay on the written-statement complaint.
The complaint that the claimant lost earnings because she was not furloughed after dismissal was dismissed. The tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to award compensation for a failure to place an employee on the furlough scheme. A separate complaint about tax and national insurance deductions was also outside the tribunal's jurisdiction and the judgment said such matters should be raised with HMRC.
The judgment included the standard notice about post-judgment interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, but it did not quantify a separate interest award. The monetary orders set out in the judgment total £1,399.01.

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.
