Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn a Rule 21 judgment, the tribunal found for Mr T Fontana against Wigton Electrical Ltd on four heads. It held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay him in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday, and ordered payment of £660 gross. It also found that he had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £1,100 net and noting that the amount was based on gross pay because it was likely to be taxed on receipt as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal further found that Mr Fontana was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £1,650. It also found that he was unfairly dismissed, but recorded that he had not sought any compensation for unfair dismissal, so no compensation award was made on that claim. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment therefore total £3,410.

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.
