Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, in a Rule 21 judgment, found that Mr Umut Tarhan had been dismissed in breach of his contractual entitlement to 3 months' notice. It awarded damages made up of £7,536.54 net pay, £1,229.28 car allowance, and £390.00 private health insurance, giving £9,155.82 for that head of claim.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,575.00. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £579.73 for 1 week's net holiday pay.
The judgment states that the total owed before any uplift was £11,310.46. It then applied a 25% uplift for failure to follow the Acas Code, bringing the total amount owed and payable forthwith to £14,138.07. The hearing listed for 9 April 2020 was cancelled.

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.
