1. Mr A Parry 2. Mr R Gabriel 3.Mr S Gabriel v Listrel Ltd — 2019

The tribunal heard evidence from all three claimants and reviewed their payslips and contracts of employment. It found that Mr A Parry, Mr R Gabriel and Mr S Gabriel were all made redundant on 28 February 2019 without notice. The respondent later went through a voluntary strike off on 5 November 2019, and the reasons given to the Redundancy Payments Office were that the business could not afford to remain trading, including because of a downturn in business, unpaid debts, and the cost of a £32,000 liquidity bond said to be needed to continue operating in London after the introduction of ultra-low emissions zones.

For Mr A Parry, the tribunal found 14 years' continuous service from 16 August 2004 and weekly pay of £300 at age 54. It held that he was entitled to redundancy pay based on 20.5 weeks' pay, amounting to £6,150, together with 12 weeks' notice pay of £3,600 and 1 week's accrued holiday pay of £300. His total award was £10,050.

For Mr R Gabriel, the tribunal found 22 years' continuous service from 15 April 1996 and weekly pay of £300 at age 58. It held that he was entitled to redundancy pay based on 28.5 weeks' pay, amounting to £8,550, together with 12 weeks' notice pay of £3,600 and 1 week's accrued holiday pay of £300. His total award was £12,450. For Mr S Gabriel, the tribunal found 22 years' continuous service and weekly pay of £300 at age 55. It held that he was entitled to redundancy pay based on 27 weeks' pay, amounting to £8,100, together with 12 weeks' notice pay of £3,600 and 1 week's accrued holiday pay of £300. His total award was £12,000. The tribunal recorded that the respondent had been struck off the Companies Register and that the sums would fall to be paid by the Redundancy Payments Office.
