Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge K M Ross determined this case in Chambers at Manchester on 23 May 2024 under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, with neither party in attendance. The Tribunal found the claimant's claims for unpaid wages for August and September 2023, one week's pay in lieu of notice, and accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination were all well-founded, ordering the respondent to pay £17,564.12 gross in total within 14 days.
The Tribunal also found that the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, that the respondent failed to comply with the collective consultation requirements of section 188, were well-founded. A protective award under section 189(3) was made: the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14-30 September 2023, a payment equivalent to remuneration for a 30-day period 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.
