Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Newcastle, by video, on 8 December 2022, Employment Judge Aspden heard the case with no attendance from either party. The tribunal held that Mr P Graham was entitled to a redundancy payment, but the amount could not be determined on the limited information supplied by the claimant.
The tribunal also found that Aspins Bakery Limited breached the contract of employment by terminating it without notice. No damages were awarded for that breach because the claimant had not proved that he sustained any loss. The judgment further held that the respondent made an unlawful deduction from wages, contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, by failing to pay wages due in or around February 2022, and ordered the respondent to pay the amount deducted.
The claimant’s holiday pay complaint was dismissed because it was not made out. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
