Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which the tribunal found that the claimant’s unfair dismissal claim succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay compensation as set out in the claimant’s schedule of loss in the total sum of £18,270.75. That sum included a basic award of £1,209.60.
The tribunal also dealt with a separately pleaded claim for a redundancy payment. It dismissed that claim on the basis that it was a duplication, because the pleading was clearly a claim for unfair dismissal. The judgment does not record any further issue on liability or remedy beyond those awards. The hearing listed for 17 February 2020 was cancelled.

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.
