Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Batten, sitting alone in Manchester by video on 19 August 2024, upheld the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint against Cloudzero Limited (in creditors' voluntary liquidation). The judgment records that the compensatory award was adjourned generally because of the respondent's insolvency.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed as redundant and ordered a statutory redundancy payment of £3,858.00. It awarded £5,892.90 for dismissal in breach of contract, £4,321.46 for unauthorised deductions from wages, and £4,125.03 for unpaid accrued holiday entitlement at termination. The respondent's contract claim in case 2413196/2023 was dismissed.
The monetary awards quantified in the judgment total £18,197.39. The attached interest notice recorded the relevant decision day as 21 August 2024 and the stipulated rate as 8% per annum, but the judgment itself did not quantify an 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.
