Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a CVP hearing on 13 July 2022, with the respondent not present or represented and Employment Judge Flanagan sitting alone, the tribunal determined four monetary claims in the claimant's favour. It found that Mr Mark Powell had been dismissed by reason of redundancy with effect from 16 November 2021 and awarded the statutory redundancy payment of £8,435.70.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages by failing to pay salary from 1 June 2021 until 16 November 2021, and awarded £8,074.17. It upheld the claimant's breach of contract claim and recorded an award of £4,715.57, describing that sum as comprising notice pay of £4,820.40 and unpaid pension contributions of £209.20. It further upheld the Working Time Regulations claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay and awarded £1,606.80.

The judgment does not identify any discrimination issues or set out any legal test beyond the statutory headings of the claims decided. The stated awards total £22,832.24.

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.
