Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs C Wignall’s claims for unfair dismissal, notice pay and holiday pay succeeded at a remote hearing on 14 April 2021. The respondent did not attend. The written record states that the judgment was given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal awarded a basic award of £9,528.12. The judgment calculates this by reference to 16 years of service at 1.5 weeks per year and a further 4 years at 1 week per year, using a weekly figure of £340.29.
The tribunal also awarded a compensatory award of £4,565.63. That figure was made up of £3,742.37 for 12.5 weeks' loss of earnings from termination on 9 May 2020 to new employment, £239.48 for the loss associated with 4 days' outstanding annual leave, £400 for loss of statutory rights, and £183.78 for pension loss over 18 weeks. The total amount ordered to be paid was £14,093.75.
The written record also contains the standard notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that the relevant judgment day was 21 April 2021, the calculation day was 22 April 2021, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8%, but it does not set out any separate 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.
