Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant issued the claim on 27 January 2022 seeking a redundancy payment and the remainder of his notice pay following the death of his employer. At the hearing in Nottingham on 17 October 2024, the respondent did not dispute that the claimant was entitled to both a redundancy payment and the balance of his notice pay, and the tribunal said it was satisfied that both elements of the claim were payable.
The tribunal awarded the claimant £9,690 by way of redundancy payment. It also awarded £3,088.24 for the remainder of his statutory notice pay for an eight-week period, described in the judgment as damages. The total sum payable was £12,778.24.
The judgment also records that the holiday pay claim was dismissed following a withdrawal by the claimant. The tribunal sat alone before Employment Judge Victoria Butler, and written reasons were not provided because the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
