Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was determined under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, in chambers at Manchester on 23 May 2024 before Employment Judge K M Ross. Neither party attended. The Tribunal found the claimant's claims for unpaid wages for August and September 2023, notice pay, and accrued but untaken holiday on termination of employment to be well-founded, and ordered the respondent to pay a total of £10,192.31 gross within 14 days of the judgment.
The Tribunal also found well-founded the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the respondent had failed to comply with the collective consultation requirements of section 188. The Tribunal made a protective award under section 189(3), ordering the respondent to pay the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14-30 September 2023, a payment equivalent to remuneration for the period of 30 days beginning on 30 September 2023. The Recoupment Regulations apply to the 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.
