Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningUnder Rule 21, Employment Judge KM Ross entered judgment for Mrs K Romney against Jonathan Kay Limited on four heads of claim. The tribunal found an unauthorised deduction from wages, awarded damages for breach of contract in respect of notice, ordered payment for untaken annual leave on termination, and held that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy.
The tribunal ordered payment of £937.44 for the wages deduction, £5,729.13 for notice damages, and £1,458.24 for untaken annual leave. The judgment states that deductions for tax and national insurance may be made from the sums in paragraphs 1 to 3, including the breach of contract damages, which are taxable as Post-Employment Notice Pay.
For redundancy, the tribunal calculated a statutory redundancy payment of £7,291.62 using a weekly wage of £520.83. The calculation was set out as 5 complete years at one week's pay for the period when the claimant was aged between 22 and 41, plus 6 complete years at 1.5 weeks' pay for the period when she was aged 41 or older. The notice to the parties states that interest is payable under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the sums are not paid within 14 days, with interest running from 11 August 2023 at 8% per annum.

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.
