Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which EJ Maxwell Date made findings and awards in favour of the claimant, Mr P Hughes, against Godfrey Group Limited. The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages in relation to pension contributions, that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract as to notice, that he was dismissed by reason of redundancy, that holiday entitlement had not been paid, and that he was unfairly dismissed.
The tribunal ordered payment of £158.50 for the pension contribution deduction, £25,000 in damages for notice, £2,448 as a redundancy payment, and £16,346 for unpaid holiday entitlement. It also made a compensatory award for unfair dismissal comprising £16,666 for loss of earnings from the end of the notice period until March 2022 and £793 for pension contributions from dismissal until March 2022.
The judgment does not record a basic award, interest, or any discrimination-related findings. On the figures stated in the judgment, the total monetary awards recorded come to £61,411.50.

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.
