Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs N Mahmoud presented her ET1 on 3 June 2024 claiming redundancy pay, wages, notice pay and holiday pay. The tribunal sent the claim to Ashes Care Group Limited on 18 June 2024 at an address from which it operated, no response was received by 16 July 2024, and judgment was entered on the papers under Rule 21 without a hearing.
On the material before it, the tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in the sum of £6,705.27. It also found a well-founded unauthorised deduction from wages in the period 1 March 2024 to 15 March 2024 and awarded £687.72, being the gross sum deducted.
The tribunal further found that the respondent was in breach of contract in relation to notice pay and awarded £2,750.88 as damages, calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable as Post-Employment Notice Pay. It also upheld the holiday pay complaint under regulations 14(2) and 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and awarded £343.86, with the claimant responsible for any tax or national insurance on the wages and holiday pay sums. The total award was £10,487.73.

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.
