Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal gave a Rule 21 liability and remedy judgment because the respondent failed to enter a response. It recorded that the claim succeeded and identified the claims before it as holiday pay, notice pay and a redundancy payment.
On notice, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract and awarded damages of £960 gross. On holiday pay, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,153.86 gross.
On redundancy, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,153.86. The explanatory note states that the tribunal applied section 155 Employment Rights Act 1996 and section 86(1) ERA 1996 when considering the relevant date for qualifying service, and it referred to West v Kneels Ltd 1987 ICR 146 (EAT) on the construction of seven days' notice. The judgment records that the claimant had sufficient service when the proper notice period was taken into account, and no defence had been filed disputing entitlement.

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.
