Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 21 default judgment because the respondent failed to enter a response to the claimant's claims. It therefore awarded the claimant redundancy pay, notice pay, and holiday pay, with the total sum ordered being £11,199.75.
The judgment breaks that total down as £7,083.72 redundancy pay, £3,047.84 outstanding payment in lieu of notice, and £1,068.19 accrued holiday pay. It also records that the claimant was made redundant on 31 July 2019, and on that basis his claim was removed from the list of combined claims for protected award in respect of redundancies that took place on 19 September 2019.

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.
