Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 after the respondent confirmed that the claimant’s claims were not defended. Judgment was entered for Mrs Mandy Mitchell against C & A Cerdyn Limited on both pleaded claims.
The claimant succeeded on her breach of contract claim for unpaid notice pay. The tribunal found that claim well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £1,811.18 by way of compensation. The award was calculated as 7 weeks' gross notice pay at £331.84 per week, less £511.70 Jobseeker's Allowance received during the relevant period.
The claimant also succeeded on her claim for a statutory redundancy payment. The tribunal found that claim well-founded and ordered payment of £3,484.32. The redundancy payment was calculated using the statutory formula on the basis of 7 years' continuous service as at the date of dismissal, all service over the age of 41, and gross weekly pay of £331.84.
The total sum awarded by the judgment was £5,295.50. The separate notice in the judgment explains that tribunal awards carry interest if not paid within 14 days, but the judgment itself does not specify any interest figure.

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.
