Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal held that the claimant satisfied the definition of redundancy under s.139 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that the requirements of the respondent's business for employees to carry out work of a particular kind had ceased or diminished, or were expected to cease or diminish.

On that basis, the tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy within s.135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent was ordered to pay a redundancy payment of £8,751.96.

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. See full methodology.
