Mr Jamie Dunbar v Creative Marketing Support Limited Record of an Attended Hearing at the Employment Tribunal — 2024

Employment Judge Hutchinson, sitting alone at Nottingham on 17 June 2024, heard the claim in the absence of the respondent, who did not appear. The claimant was represented by Mr Andrew Botham, solicitor. The judgment records that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, was dismissed by reason of redundancy, and was unfairly dismissed.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and had failed to provide the claimant with a statement of terms and conditions of employment. Monetary awards were made against the respondent on each of these heads: £898.14 for breach of contract (notice), £1,089.64 as a redundancy payment, £2,833.06 for unpaid holiday, £16,342.45 as compensation for unfair dismissal, and £2,179.28 in respect of the failure to provide a written statement of terms.

In addition, the respondent was ordered to pay a contribution of £1,000 towards the claimant's costs. The judgment was signed by Employment Judge Hutchinson dated 20 June 2024 and sent to the parties on 26 June 2024. The judgment text itself does not articulate the underlying reasoning, legal tests, or factual findings beyond the orders made.
