Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claims were issued in the Newcastle Employment Tribunals on 4 June 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claims under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that both claimants were dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and that both were dismissed by reason of redundancy. Damages for breach of contract were awarded of £2,323.68 to the first claimant and £3,174 to the second claimant. Redundancy payments of £5,626.80 and £8,250 were awarded to the first and second claimants respectively.
In total, the respondent was ordered to pay £7,950.48 forthwith to the first claimant and £11,424.00 forthwith to the second claimant. The hearing listed on 16 August 2024 was cancelled. The case_reference 2501274/2024 corresponds to the first claimant, whose total award is £7,950.48; the £11,424.00 figure recorded by Layer 1 as the total_award relates to the second claimant under case 2501275/2024.

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.
