Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimants attended the hearing in person except for Mrs J Golder and Ms Danica Brewster, who the tribunal was told were unaware of any requirement to attend and were in alternative employment. The First Respondent did not attend and was not represented. The Second Respondent did not attend and relied on written representations in its ET3 response under Rule 42.
After hearing evidence from the claimants who were present, the tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay specified sums to five claimants. The awards comprised redundancy payments, notice pay, and, for four of the five claimants, arrears of pay or wages for December 2018.
The judgment records individual totals of £2,400.00 for Mrs Susan Heather Doe, £3,730.66 for Mrs Caroline Ruth Dobinson, £6,564.58 for Mrs Julie Warman, £3,418.00 for Ms Stevie Jane Butcher, and £12,465.42 for Mrs Hazel Ellen Oliver.

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.
