Miss M Penycate
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 21 February 2023 and the respondent, Personal Representatives of A W Watchhorn, failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, and the hearing listed for 16 June 2023 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that Miss M Penycate was dismissed by reason of redundancy. It held that she was entitled to a redundancy payment of £12,501.00. No other heads of loss or separate remedy components were set out 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.
