Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe two claimants brought three claims arising from their employment with the First Respondent (in creditors' voluntary liquidation): breach of contract for unpaid notice pay, statutory redundancy payment, and unauthorised deduction from wages relating to outstanding holiday pay. The First Respondent did not appear; the Second Respondent (Secretary of State for Business and Trade, statutory guarantor) was represented by a lay representative.
All three claims had been presented after the relevant statutory time limit. The Tribunal found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimants to have presented the claims in time and dismissed all three on that basis. Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing; written reasons were not provided.

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.
