Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote video hearing on 12 May 2021, Employment Judge Ord found for the claimant on all four claims against Ashleys Cakes Ltd. The tribunal held that she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,092.80, calculated as one and a half times her weekly gross salary for 10 weeks, and ordered the respondent to pay that sum.
The tribunal also found that the respondent breached contract by dismissing the claimant without giving the 10 weeks' statutory notice to which she was entitled. Damages of £1,395.20 gross were awarded for that breach, subject to deductions for tax and national insurance.
In addition, the tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages because she had not been paid for six days worked in October 2020, and awarded £167.42 gross subject to deductions. It also upheld her claim for three weeks' holiday pay and awarded £418.56 gross subject to deductions.

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.
