Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge dealt with the case on the basis that the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. On the information before the tribunal, Mr G Townsend was found to have been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and the respondent, The Lessingham Star 1800 Ltd, was ordered to pay damages of £5,400.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £8,877. The judgment states that the total payable under it, without deduction and taxable in the claimant's hands, was £14,227.

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.
