Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Gordon Walker, sitting alone at the East London Hearing Centre by CVP on 12 December 2024, heard the claim of Mrs M Ezugwu against GenesisDisplay GmbH. The respondent did not respond to the claim or attend.
The Tribunal held it had jurisdiction under section 15C(2)(b) Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 because the claimant was habitually employed in the United Kingdom, and that English law applied (under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and Rome I Regulation Article 8) in the absence of any proven choice of German law. The complaint of unfair dismissal under section 94 Employment Rights Act 1996 and unauthorised deductions under section 13 ERA 1996 were upheld.
The respondent was ordered to pay £3,750 gross for unpaid November 2023 notice pay, £2,769.23 gross for 16 days accrued holiday, a £2,893.50 statutory redundancy payment, a £36,908 net compensatory award, and £2,450 for grossing up tax on amounts above £30,000.

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.
