Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs D Williams brought claims of unfair dismissal and failure to pay notice pay against Air2energy Limited (in Creditors Voluntary Liquidation). At a preliminary hearing on 3 December 2020, she confirmed that she was not pursuing the unfair dismissal claim and that the case was limited to one week's notice pay. The reasons also record that she had not been employed for two years and was not entitled to claim unfair dismissal.
The respondent had filed a response but, after entering creditors' voluntary liquidation, its liquidator did not respond to the tribunal's direction to confirm whether the claim would be defended. After a strike-out warning and no further communication, the tribunal struck out the response because it had not been actively pursued.
On the notice pay claim, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed without notice. Although she did not have payslips, she provided a bank statement showing that her net pay for June 2019 was £2,046.56. On that basis, the tribunal calculated one week's notice pay at £477.53 and entered judgment for that net sum.

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.
