Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On the papers, Miss K Costello succeeded in her complaints that she had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy and entitled to a redundancy payment, and that the respondent had failed to pay her holiday entitlement.
The tribunal ordered £216 for notice pay, £3,240 as a redundancy payment, and £1,260 for unpaid holiday entitlement. The unfair dismissal complaint also succeeded, with a compensatory award of £500 for loss of statutory rights. No basic award was made because the claimant had been awarded the redundancy payment sought.
The attached interest notice recorded the relevant decision day as 8 September 2022 and stated that interest would accrue from 9 September 2022 at 8% per annum if the award remained unpaid after 14 days, but the judgment itself did not specify a separate interest amount.

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.
