Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant's claim for a statutory redundancy payment was well-founded and succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay GBP 5,071.56 without deduction of Income Tax or National Insurance, calculated as 13 weeks at GBP 390.12.
The tribunal dismissed the claims for unauthorised deduction from wages, unpaid holiday pay, breach of contract for notice pay, and failure to provide a written statement of earnings. Each dismissal was on the basis that the claim was not presented in time when it was reasonably practicable to have done so.

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.
