Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims for a redundancy payment, unauthorised deduction from wages, breach of contract in respect of notice pay, and holiday pay. The respondent entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 30 October 2023 and neither the respondent nor the liquidator filed a response. Judgment was entered without a hearing under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 on the basis of the information provided by the claimant.
The Tribunal found the claimant worked 20 hours per week at £10.42 per hour, with seven complete years of service ending on 1 May 2023, and was aged 63 at the date of redundancy. On that basis, a redundancy payment of £3,063.48 was awarded under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996. The unauthorised deductions complaint was found well-founded, with £1,927.60 (gross) ordered for the period 15 March to 1 May 2023.
The breach of contract claim succeeded, with £2,042.32 awarded as damages for seven weeks' notice pay, calculated gross to reflect Post-Employment Notice Pay tax treatment. The holiday pay complaint also succeeded under Regulations 14(2) and 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, with £354.28 awarded. The total award was £7,387.68.

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.
