Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Miss R Kenny's claim that Jackson-McElligott Ltd breached her contract by failing to pay accrued but untaken holiday on termination was well-founded and succeeded. It awarded £1,402.63, described as 3.5 gross weeks' pay calculated at an average weekly rate of £400.75 gross.
The tribunal also held that the respondent breached the claimant's contract by failing to give notice of termination. It found that she had 12 complete years of service and was therefore entitled to the statutory minimum notice period of 12 weeks. On that basis it awarded £2,829 gross, being 12 weeks' notice pay at £400.75 per week gross less £1,980 gross earned by the claimant in partial mitigation during the 12 weeks after termination. The tribunal noted that the compensation may be taxable.

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.
