Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Newcastle by video on 13 June 2024 before Employment Judge Aspden, dealt with claims for breach of contract, redundancy payment and unfair dismissal brought by W Liddle against NTRS (Durham) Limited (in voluntary liquidation). The judgment records that the claimant appeared in person and there was no attendance for the respondent.
The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was found well-founded. The tribunal awarded the claimant £3,424.12 as damages for breach of contract.
The tribunal also determined, under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £12,491.92, and ordered the respondent to pay that amount. The complaint of unfair dismissal was likewise found well-founded, with the tribunal stating that the claimant was unfairly dismissed.
No compensation for unfair dismissal was claimed or awarded, in light of the awards made for notice pay and redundancy payment. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
