Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mrs Teresa Szanowska, brought proceedings against Cocktails 4 Fun Ltd (in voluntary liquidation). The case was heard at Teesside on 19 May 2022 before Employment Judge Withers, with the claimant appearing in person with an interpreter and no appearance for the respondent.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's redundancy pay claim and ordered the respondent to pay a redundancy payment of £2,225.70 gross. It also found that the respondent was in breach of contract because the claimant was dismissed without notice, and awarded damages of £1,601.56 gross for that breach.
The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for accounting to HMRC for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the sums awarded. The award totals £3,827.26 gross.

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.
