Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment by Employment Judge Loy on 11 January 2024 in which all three claims succeeded. The tribunal found that Mrs A Rumney had been dismissed in breach of contract because the respondent did not pay notice pay for her 9-week notice period. It ordered damages of £1,125.36, calculated as 12 hours per week for 9 weeks at £10.42 per hour.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday pay on termination and had failed to pay a statutory redundancy payment. Paragraph 2 orders holiday pay of £500.60, but paragraph 4(b) calculates the figure as £500.16 for 4 days of untaken holiday at 12 hours per day and £10.42 per hour, and the stated total award of £3,313.56 matches that calculation. The redundancy payment was calculated at £1,688.04 using 9 years at 1.5 x £125.04 per week.
No discrimination, unfair dismissal, or other statutory claims are identified in the judgment text, and no further reasons are given beyond the payment calculations recorded in the order.

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.
