Mrs L Shaw v Real Estate Agencies Limited — 2024

This was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Holmes on 15 February 2024 in the claim of Mrs L Shaw against Real Estate Agencies Limited. The respondent's name was amended to Real Estate Agencies Limited. The tribunal upheld three monetary claims arising from the termination of the claimant's employment.

The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract without notice and ordered the respondent to pay damages of £1,422.90 (net). It further found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £2,884.65. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to compensate the claimant for untaken annual leave on termination and ordered payment of £567.93 gross, with the claimant to be responsible for any tax liabilities arising on the gross sum if tax was not deducted at source.

The judgment is brief and does not set out reasoning beyond the orders made. A separate notice attached to the judgment sets out the interest provisions under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, with the relevant decision day recorded as 27 February 2024 and a stipulated rate of 8% per annum.
