Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge S Knight sat alone at the London East Hearing Centre on 21 July 2025. The Claimant, Lucinda Talbot Clarke, succeeded on three complaints: breach of contract for failure to pay notice pay, redundancy pay, and unfair dismissal. The Respondent, Creative Medical Research Ltd (in voluntary liquidation), was ordered to pay a total of £17,977.37.
The breach of contract claim was accepted in relation to notice pay, and the tribunal awarded £2,797.52 for that head of claim. The redundancy payment complaint was also well founded, with £9,100 awarded.
The unfair dismissal complaint was upheld. The tribunal recorded a total monetary award for unfair dismissal of £6,079.85, made up of a basic award of £0, a compensatory award prescribed element of £5,579.85, and a compensatory award non-prescribed element of £500. The recoupment certificate stated that the prescribed element related to the period from 26 September 2024 to 21 July 2025.
The holiday pay complaint and the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages were both dismissed. No discrimination or other protected-characteristic claims were recorded in the judgment.

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.
