Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote telephone hearing on 5 September 2022 before Employment Judge Travers, the respondent's director, Belinda England, attended and confirmed that she had a copy of the claimant's schedule of loss. The judgment records that liability was accepted under the heads set out in the decision.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a total of £4,549.24. That sum comprised a redundancy payment of £2,280, unpaid wages of £1,699.24 net for December 2021 and February 2022, and £570 gross for 2 weeks' notice pay. The redundancy figure was calculated on the basis of 6 years' service from 13 April 2015 to 28 February 2022, gross weekly pay of £285, and the stated statutory redundancy multiplier.
The claim for holiday pay was dismissed. No separate award for that head was made, and the judgment contains no discrimination findings or other remedy components beyond the monetary sums identified in paragraph 2.

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.
