Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Midlands East Employment Tribunal on 21 January 2025. The respondent, which is in voluntary liquidation, failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge McTigue determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure on the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, had dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, had dismissed her by reason of redundancy entitling her to a redundancy payment, had failed to pay her holiday entitlement, and had breached its duty to give her a written statement of employment particulars.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £2,526.30, comprising £653.10 gross for unauthorised wage deductions, £468.30 for notice pay, £468.30 redundancy payment, £312.20 holiday pay, and £624.40 for failure to provide written particulars.

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.
