Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal gave judgment under Rule 21 in chambers. It found the claimant's redundancy payment claim well-founded and awarded £12,217, calculated as 19 weeks at the statutory cap of £643, based on 13 complete years of service and the claimant being aged over 41.
The Tribunal also found the claimant's notice pay and unpaid wages claims well-founded. It awarded 12 weeks' gross notice pay at £713.07 per week, totalling £8,556.84, and two days' unpaid wages for 2 and 3 October 2023, totalling £285.22.
The complaint under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 was not well-founded. The Tribunal found the claimant was based at Manchester in an establishment where fewer than 20 staff were made redundant, and stated that more than 20 staff at one establishment must be made redundant for eligibility for a protective award.

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.
