(1) Mr G Baker (2) Mrs J Baker v Ms Claire Alana Baker as Executor of Mr Brian Baker (Deceased) (In Administration) — 2021

The tribunal heard two linked claims for redundancy payments brought by Mr G Baker and Mrs J Baker against Ms Claire Alana Baker as Executor of Mr Brian Baker (Deceased) (In Administration). It recorded that Mr Garry Baker had been employed by his late father from 22 December 1998 until Mr Baker's death on 5 April 2020, when his employment terminated, and that Mrs Janice Baker had been employed as a receptionist from May 2002 until the same date, when her employment also terminated.

The tribunal found that both claims succeeded. It ordered a redundancy payment for Mr Garry Baker calculated at £538, the statutory maximum weekly amount, multiplied by 24, giving £12,912.00. It also ordered a redundancy payment for Mrs Janice Baker calculated at £68.10 multiplied by 25.5, giving £1,736.55.

The judgment does not record any other heads of claim, any contested legal test, or any separate compensation beyond the redundancy payments. It was heard by Employment Judge R Barrowclough sitting alone on 1 July 2021, and the reasons given are confined to the employment histories, the termination date following the employer's death, and the statutory redundancy calculations applied to each claimant.
