Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing at East London Hearing Centre by CVP on 2 September 2024, Employment Judge Massarella recorded that Orchard Works Garage Ltd was substituted in place of Mr Simon Walman as the respondent. The claimant, Mr A. Durling, attended in person. The respondent did not attend and was not represented.
The tribunal held that the claimant’s claim for a statutory redundancy payment succeeded. It ordered the respondent to pay £3,858, without deductions for tax or national insurance. The award was calculated as four complete years’ service multiplied by 1.5, using the claimant’s age of 47 at the date of termination, and a weekly pay figure of £643, described as the statutory cap on a week’s pay at the material time.

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.
