Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal corrected the respondent's name to Inflatanation (Newcastle) Ltd. It then dealt with the claimant's claims for unauthorised deductions from wages, unpaid holiday pay, and a statutory redundancy payment, and each of those claims failed.
The claimant's breach of contract claim succeeded in respect of notice pay. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay one week's pay of £480.69 for that claim.
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim also succeeded. The tribunal awarded a basic award of two weeks' gross pay, £961.38, and a compensatory award based on 18 weeks' net pay at £378.46 per week, totalling £6,812.28, plus £500.00 for loss of statutory rights.
The total payable in respect of unfair dismissal was £8,273.66, and the overall total payable by the respondent to the claimant was £8,754.35, reflecting the unfair dismissal award together with the notice pay award.

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.
