Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed by Bull Restaurant Limited from 31 October 2013 to 6 January 2019 as head chef. The respondents did not attend and were not represented at the hearing.
The tribunal found that on 6 January 2019 the claimant was dismissed without notice or warning and was told that the first respondent would cease trading that day. It found that he had not been paid for two weeks' work, had accrued five days' unpaid holiday, and was entitled to five weeks' pay in lieu of notice.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The redundancy payment was calculated on five years' continuous employment, an age factor of one, and the then prevailing maximum week's pay of £508.

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.
