Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the final hearing on 18 July 2022, before Employment Judge Camp, the claimant was represented and the respondent did not appear. The tribunal stated that reasons were given orally. It found that Miss Nicola Timson had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and therefore was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,517.19.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages. It ordered payment of £5,109.46, made up of £3,202.96 in wages, £1,671.50 in employee pension contributions, and £235 in student loan deductions. In addition, pursuant to section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the claimant was awarded £12.75 interest on an overdraft.
On the contract claim, the tribunal found that the respondent failed to give notice of termination in breach of contract. It awarded £4,259.39 in damages for notice pay, calculated by taking £6,068.76 wages that would have been earned during the notice period and subtracting £1,809.37½ earned in alternative employment during that period. It also ordered payment of £1,253.75 in employer pension contributions as damages for breach of contract. The total payable was £12,152.54.

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.
