Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 3 July 2022 and the respondent 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 without a contested hearing, and the hearing listed for 14 October 2022 was cancelled.
On the merits, the tribunal found that Mr S Gray had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £2,883.44. It also found that he had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,895.75.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £593.14. The judgment records a total award of £6,372.32, although the three itemised sums stated in the reasons add to £6,372.33.

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.
