Mr M Penn
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Penn was employed by Tendring Reuse and Employment Enterprise Ltd as Chief Executive Officer from 4 August 2010 on a basic salary of £36,000 per year. He was dismissed by way of redundancy on 13 January 2020 after 9 full years' service, and was 56 years old at dismissal.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was not paid salary for December 2019 or for the first two weeks of January 2020, was not paid his statutory notice of 9 weeks' pay, and was not paid his 5.6 weeks' holiday for 2019. The judgment notes that damages were calculated on a net basis, but gross figures were used in the calculation because the claimant would be liable for tax on the pay elements.
Employment Judge Burgher ordered the respondent to pay redundancy pay of £7,087.50, notice pay of £6,230.79, unpaid salary of £3,000.00 for December 2019 and £1,384.62 for January 2020, and unpaid holiday of £3,876.94. The total ordered was £21,579.85.

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.
