Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mrs M Fletcher, and the respondent, Dr B Ighorodje, were heard at East London Hearing Centre on 22 August 2019 before Employment Judge Tobin sitting alone. The judgment records that, after hearing from both parties, the claimant succeeded on her claim for the shortfall in her redundancy payment and on her claim for breach of contract arising from payment in lieu of notice not being given.
The tribunal awarded £1,605.65 for the outstanding redundancy payment and £2,985.84 for notice pay, making a total award of £4,591.49. The judgment identifies the notice pay figure as a gross payment and states that the respondent may deduct tax and National Insurance, as appropriate, provided that the deduction is confirmed to the claimant in writing.
No discrimination, unfair dismissal, or other statutory claims are identified in the judgment text. The decision is limited to the two successful monetary claims and records no separate findings on liability beyond the success of those claims and the resulting awards.

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.
