Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Glen Shields, succeeded in his claim for a redundancy payment under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996. Employment Judge Sweeney found the claim well-founded and ordered North Hope Limited to pay £6,964.74, calculated from gross weekly pay of £386.93, multiplied by 1.5 and 12 years' service.
The claims for breach of contract, relating to notice pay, and for failure to pay outstanding holiday pay on termination were dismissed. The tribunal found that the ET1 was presented on 03 June 2024, that those claims were presented out of time, and that the claimant had not shown that it was not reasonably practicable to present them within the statutory time limit. On that basis, the tribunal held that it lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate those claims.

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.
