Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Loy determined the claim on the papers under Rule 21. The tribunal found that Miss R Tearse had been dismissed in breach of contract because Sharon Appleton failed to pay her for the notice period. The judgment orders damages for unpaid notice pay and also records a calculation based on one week's pay of £162.88 less maternity allowance of £96.26, although the operative award in paragraph 1 is £66.22 and the calculation in paragraph 3a is £66.62.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination of employment. It ordered payment of the gross sum of £130.30, calculated in paragraph 3b as 6.4 days of accrued holiday at 2 hours per day, multiplied by an hourly rate of £10.18.
The total amount recorded by the judgment is £196.92. No discrimination, whistleblowing, or other statutory claim is set out in the extracted judgment text, and no additional remedy components such as injury to feelings, interest, or a separate compensatory award are addressed.
Claims and outcomes
2 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breach of contract | The judgment orders damages of £66.22 for unpaid notice pay in paragraph 1. Paragraph 3a later sets out the calculation as £66.62 after deducting maternity allowance from one week's pay of £162.88, so the extracted text contains an internal inconsistency on this figure. | Upheld | — | £66 |
| Holiday pay | The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination and ordered the gross sum of £130.30. The calculation in paragraph 3b states 6.4 days accrued untaken holiday at 2 hours per day at £10.18 per hour. | Upheld | — | £130 |

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.
