Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs J Patton was employed by Dr D Sister Limited from 21 August 2017. The tribunal fixed her week’s pay under section 224 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 at £498.33 gross. It held that her redundancy payment claim was well-founded and ordered redundancy pay of £1,494.99.
The unfair dismissal claim also succeeded. The tribunal recorded that the claimant was likely to have been dismissed fairly on 27 September 2019 in any event, and awarded a compensatory award of £1,400. The appendix shows this as £900 net compensation plus £500 for loss of statutory rights, and the judgment states that recoupment did not apply.
The breach of contract claim for loss of notice succeeded on the basis that the claimant was entitled to 2 weeks' notice of dismissal, with £996.66 ordered. The tribunal also awarded £650 for accrued but untaken paid annual leave in the leave year beginning on 21 August 2019, using a Regulation 14 calculation in the appendix. The total award was £4,541.65.

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.
