Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Manchester CVP hearing on 4 September 2024, the respondent did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal found the claimant’s complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1,075 in damages. The tribunal said that figure was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It awarded compensation under section 38 Employment Act 2002, describing 4 weeks’ pay as just and equitable, and ordered payment of £2,100. The total award recorded in the judgment was £3,175.

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.
