Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt East London Hearing Centre via CVP on 9 October 2024, Employment Judge Rakhim sat alone in a Rule 21 hearing. The claimant, Zena Barker, did not attend. The respondent, The Grooming Room Ltd, was represented by its director, S Saville.
Under section 163 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined that Ms Barker was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,817.47. The judgment then ordered the respondent to pay £2,817.47, described as compensation for financial loss attributable to the failure to pay the redundancy payment. The same figure appears in both parts of the order.

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.
