Miss Sharon Wigginton
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under rule 21 because the respondent did not present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Hutchinson determined the claim on the papers without a hearing, and the listed hearing on 16 June 2023 was cancelled.
The judgment records that Miss Sharon Wigginton was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The tribunal found that she was entitled to a redundancy payment and made an award accordingly.
The extracted text states the redundancy payment as £5.174.00. Read in context, this appears to be a formatting or OCR rendering of £5,174.00, which is the figure used in the remedy entry.

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.
