Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Cleminson brought a claim for payment of notice pay after the end of his employment with Metcalfe Farms Haulage Ltd. The respondent did not return a response, so the tribunal proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the material available.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been employed as an Account Manager from 6 January 2020 to 9 August 2021. At the date of termination he earned £588.96 gross per week, equal to £458.43 net per week. His contract entitled him to 4 weeks' notice, but he was given no notice and only a week's payment in lieu.
The tribunal was satisfied that the respondent was in breach of contract in failing to give the contractual 4 weeks' notice. It therefore upheld the wrongful dismissal claim and awarded damages calculated as 3 weeks' net pay, totalling £1,375.29.

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.
