Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 26 January 2022 and was heard by Employment Judge Victoria Butler sitting alone at Nottingham on 17 October 2024. The claimant sought a redundancy payment and the remainder of his notice pay after the death of his employer. By the time of the hearing, he no longer pursued a holiday pay claim.
The respondent did not dispute that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment and to the remaining notice pay. The tribunal was satisfied that both elements were payable. It therefore awarded the claimant a redundancy payment of £10,000 and damages of £3,285.44 for the remainder of his statutory notice pay for an eight-week period, after four weeks had already been received.
The holiday pay claim was dismissed because it was withdrawn by the claimant. The total sum payable by the respondent was £13,285.44.

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.
