Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the claim at Nottingham on 16 December 2024 before Employment Judge Victoria Butler sitting alone. The claimant, Ms S Kent, appeared in person with Mr M Dickinson to support her. The respondent, Gala Technology Limited, was represented by its managing director, Mr J Mace.
The written judgment records three successful heads of claim. The claimant's wrongful dismissal claim, limited to the notice period, succeeded and the tribunal awarded £667.03 in damages. The claimant also succeeded on a breach of contract claim in respect of expenses, with damages of £526.50.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £277.79. The total sum awarded to the claimant was £1,471.32.
The decision record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The extracted judgment therefore contains the orders made and the sums awarded, but not any fuller written explanation of the tribunal's reasoning beyond those recorded outcomes.

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.
