Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Newcastle by video on 8 December 2022, held that Mrs E Jackson was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment from Carters 2015 Limited under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It also found well founded her complaint that the first respondent breached her contract of employment by terminating it without due notice.
The tribunal further held that the first respondent made unlawful deductions from wages by failing to pay wages due for March and April 2022, contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and that it failed to pay holiday pay due under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The first respondent was ordered to pay £9,528.50 as statutory redundancy pay, £3,183 as damages for breach of contract, £1,635.71 for unlawful deductions from wages, and £426.36 for unpaid holiday pay, subject to any deductions required by law for tax and/or national insurance.
The claims against the second respondent, The Aspins Food Group Limited, were dismissed. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and no written reasons were provided in the written record of the decision.

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.
