Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Holmes on the claims brought by Mr J Spencer against Real Estate Agencies Limited. The tribunal determined three matters on the papers: that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that he had been dismissed by reason of redundancy, and that the respondent had failed to pay accrued but unpaid annual leave amounting to three days.
The respondent was ordered to pay gross sums of £3,000 in damages for breach of contract (notice), £8,359 as a redundancy payment, and £600 in respect of the unpaid annual leave. The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for any tax liabilities arising on the gross awards if tax is not deducted at source.
The document also includes the standard notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, identifying 27 February 2024 as the relevant decision day, 28 February 2024 as the calculation day, and an 8% per annum stipulated rate of interest. No written reasons or substantive legal analysis are set out in the judgment itself, consistent with a Rule 21 default-style determination.

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.
