Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Tinnion, sitting alone at Newcastle Employment Tribunal by video (CVP) on 18 July 2025, heard the claimant Gemma Armstrong's claims against the respondent Brad Rogerson at a Final Hearing. The claimant appeared in person, supported by her father; the respondent did not attend and was not represented.
The tribunal found that the claims for unfair dismissal (under ss.94-98 Employment Rights Act 1996), statutory redundancy payment (ss.163-164 Employment Rights Act 1996), notice pay (breach of contract), and holiday pay (breach of contract, s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 and Reg 14 Working Time Regulations 1998) were all well founded and that the claimant was entitled to a remedy.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £3,658.34, comprising £1,601.34 for unfair dismissal/statutory redundancy payment, £1,808.04 for four weeks notice pay (4 x £452.01/week), and £248.96 for 2.332 days of untaken holiday (at £106.76/day). Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons would follow only on timely request.

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.
