Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment was made under Rule 21 in chambers, with neither party in attendance. The tribunal found the claimant's unpaid wages claim well-founded and ordered payment of wages due for August 2023 and September 2023, totalling £4,262.81 gross.

The tribunal also found the claims for one week's pay in lieu of notice and holiday pay well-founded, awarding £673.08 for each. It stated that the total sum payable within 14 days of the judgment was £5,608.97 gross.

The tribunal further found that the claimant's complaints under section 189 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 were well-founded because of a failure to comply with section 188. It made a protective award requiring payment equivalent to 30 days' remuneration for the claimant, who was dismissed for redundancy between 14 and 30 September 2023, with the Recoupment Regulations applying.

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.
