Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJudge Cowx, sitting alone, recorded that Mr D Bolam’s claims for holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy payment were well founded and succeeded. The respondent did not attend and the claimant was unrepresented. The judgment also recorded a separate finding that the respondent breached section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 by failing to provide full and accurate written particulars of employment.
The tribunal ordered £1,604.48 for holiday pay and £1,395.16 for notice pay, both calculated using gross monthly pay, with the respondent required to deduct the sums due to HM Revenue and Customs for income tax and National Insurance. It stated that the total gross sum payable for those two items was £2,999.64.
In addition, the tribunal ordered £3,139.11 net for redundancy payment and a further £1,252.00, described as the amount equal to four weeks’ net pay, for the section 38 breach. The judgment is a short record of the orders made and does not contain detailed oral reasons beyond those findings and awards.

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.
