Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place by video before Employment Judge Aspden, with no attendance from either side. The tribunal recorded oral reasons and issued a short written judgment.
The tribunal found that Mr P Edwards was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,308. It also held that Darlington Railway Hospitality Ltd breached the contract of employment by terminating it without notice, awarding £500.75 in damages, and that it made an unlawful deduction from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, awarding £174.40 being the amount deducted.
The claim for unpaid holiday pay was not made out. The tribunal also upheld the unfair dismissal claim and awarded £174.40 as compensation, consisting of a compensatory award only. The Recoupment Regulations were applied to that unfair dismissal award, with the prescribed element set at £174.40 for the period 29 April 2020 to 6 May 2020 and no excess above that sum.

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.
