Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not attend and no response was received, so Rule 21 applied. After hearing the claimant's evidence, Employment Judge Warren found that Miss Grierson had been unfairly dismissed and that, in breach of contract, she was not given notice or pay in lieu. The claimant had worked for the respondent since August 2014, having been transferred from a previous business, and was dismissed on 13 June 2020 after being signed off work unwell from 12 May 2020.
In remedy, the tribunal recorded that the claimant was 55 at dismissal, was fit to work from 13 July 2020, and obtained alternative, better paid employment 13 weeks later. With five years' completed service, she was entitled to five weeks' notice pay. The tribunal awarded a basic award of £1,043, a compensatory award of £1,112, notice pay of £695, a loss-of-rights sum of £280, and a 20% uplift of £361, producing a grand total of £3,591.
The recoupment regulations applied. The tribunal stated that the prescribed element was £2,850 for the period 13 June 2020 to 26 February 2021, and that the excess over the prescribed element was £741.

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.
