Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs C Lewis succeeded on four money claims against Bury Football Club Company Limited. The tribunal found an unauthorised deduction from wages for work done in August 2019 and ordered payment of the gross sum of £828.75. It also found a breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,295, calculated from gross weekly pay of £191.25 and a statutory notice entitlement capped at 12 weeks.
On redundancy, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £4,876.88. The reasons record that the claimant had 17 years' service, was aged 59 at the effective date of termination, and that the statutory redundancy formula produced the award using a weekly pay figure of £191.25.
The tribunal also found that the claimant's holiday entitlement had not been paid and ordered £1,243.08. The unfair dismissal complaint was not decided in this judgment; the tribunal stated that it would proceed to a hearing unless withdrawn.

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.
