Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal gave judgment under Rule 21 and found that Mr S E Hickey had been dismissed by reason of redundancy. It held that he was entitled to a redundancy payment of £4,321.70. The judgment does not record any dispute on that point in the extracted text.
The tribunal also found that Hilcare Ltd had failed to pay the claimant's accrued untaken annual leave on termination of employment. It recorded that 10 days' holiday remained outstanding and awarded the gross sum of £765.22, calculated by reference to an average weekly wage of £382.61 divided by five working days. The judgment noted that the claimant would be responsible for any tax liabilities arising if tax was not deducted from source.
The total gross sum awarded was £5,086.92, being the sum of the redundancy payment and holiday pay award. The hearing listed for 31 May 2024 was cancelled.

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.
