Mrs S Warwick v Carters 2015 Limited — 2022

Mrs S Warwick’s claims against Carters 2015 Limited were heard by Employment Judge Aspden in Newcastle by video on 8 December 2022, with the claimant appearing in person and no attendance for the respondent. The tribunal held that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal also found that the respondent breached the claimant’s contract of employment by terminating it without due notice. It further found that the 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 failed to pay holiday pay due under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998.

The tribunal ordered payment of £5,415 as a statutory redundancy payment, £1,396 as damages for breach of contract, £875.48 in respect of deducted wages, and £527.06 in respect of holiday pay, subject to any deductions required by law for tax and/or national insurance. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
