Mrs J Kennedy v James Andrew Prams & Nurseries Ltd — 2023

The respondent stated that it did not resist the claims and accepted that the claimant was entitled to the amounts claimed. On that basis, the tribunal entered judgment that Mrs J Kennedy was unfairly dismissed by James Andrew Prams & Nurseries Ltd. No separate monetary award was stated for the unfair dismissal finding in the judgment itself.

The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and ordered payment of the statutory redundancy payment of £4,400, described as being calculated on the basis of 12 weeks' pay at £370 per week. It further found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £1,000 net for unpaid wages for October 2022 and £875 gross for unpaid wages for November 2022.

In addition, the tribunal found a breach of contract in relation to notice and ordered damages of £2,960, described as equivalent to eight weeks' pay. It also found that holiday entitlement had not been paid and ordered £1,480 gross. The judgment was dated 10 August 2023 and sent to the parties on 22 August 2023; the accompanying notice stated that interest would be governed by the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, with the relevant decision day as 22 August 2023 and the stipulated rate of 8% per annum if sums remained unpaid after the prescribed period.
