Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningUnder Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, the respondent did not defend the claim and the Employment Judge entered judgment in default. The hearing listed for 24 May 2021 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that Mrs A Shannon had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered Cognosec Limited to pay £576.92. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £2,169.23.
The judgment further records that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's maternity pay and ordered payment of £1,083.4. The order states a total of £3,829.29, although the extracted component figures do not exactly reconcile to that total.

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.
