Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Aspden, sitting at Newcastle by video on 18 October 2023, held that Miss Balderson was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment from MSP Legal Services LLP. The tribunal awarded £735 for that claim.
The tribunal did not have jurisdiction to consider the claimant's claim for damages for breach of contract, said to arise from the respondent terminating her employment without notice, because it had been brought outside the statutory time limits. It also did not have jurisdiction to consider the claim for arrears of pay for work done between 31 March and 5 April 2023 for the same reason. No further remedy was recorded.

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.
