Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal treated the preliminary hearing as a final hearing under Rule 48 because it considered that neither party would be materially prejudiced. The respondent had not filed an ET3 in time, and the tribunal entered judgment under Rule 21 based on the claimant's ET1 and his oral evidence.
The tribunal held that the redundancy payment claim, although presented outside the six-month period in section 164(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, should be accepted under section 164(2). It also extended time for the breach of contract, unlawful deduction from wages and holiday pay complaints, finding it was not reasonably practicable for them to have been presented in time.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. It also found that the respondent failed to give the statutory minimum notice, made an unauthorised deduction of two weeks' wages, and failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, and it awarded the sums stated in the judgment.

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.
