Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Quill gave a rule 21 judgment on 31 October 2023 in favour of Ms N Greatorex against Craig Mason Franchising Ltd (in voluntary liquidation). The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,426.
The tribunal also recorded that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement by way of pay in lieu on termination. It held, however, that this claim was not brought within the relevant time limit. The judgment states that the latest date for presenting the claim or commencing ACAS early conciliation was 28 February 2023, whereas ACAS conciliation did not begin until 22 March 2023 and the claim was presented on 27 March 2023.
The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable to bring the holiday pay claim in time and therefore concluded that it had no jurisdiction to make an award on that claim. The judgment adds that this does not necessarily prevent the claimant from seeking a payment from government funds.

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.
