A1 Stockton Limited “In Voluntary Liquidation”

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claim was determined under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, without a hearing, after the respondent (which entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 30 October 2023) and the liquidator failed to file any response. The Tribunal proceeded on the basis of the information provided by the claimant, including a questionnaire completed on 21 December 2023 in accordance with earlier case management orders.

The Tribunal found that the claimant was not entitled to a redundancy payment because he did not have the two years' continuous service required by section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages, breach of contract in respect of notice pay, and holiday pay under Regulations 14(2) and 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 were all well-founded.

The respondent was ordered to pay £859.65 gross for the unauthorised wage deduction and £139.10 for holiday pay, giving a total award of £998.75. The amount of notice pay arising from the breach of contract claim was reserved to a remedies hearing.

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.
