Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 6 November 2020, Employment Judge Aspden, sitting in Newcastle by video, dealt with the claimant's complaints against Darlington Railway Hospitality Ltd. The record states that neither party attended. The tribunal held that Mr R Woodford was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,477.30 and that the respondent breached the contract of employment by terminating it without notice, awarding damages of £1,477.30 for breach of contract.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant's complaint of an unlawful deduction from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered repayment of £295.46, described as the amount deducted. The complaint for unpaid holiday pay was not made out. The unfair dismissal complaint was found to be well founded, but the judgment records that no compensation was ordered for that claim.

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.
