Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Watford by videolink on 8 October 2025 before Employment Judge McNeill KC sitting alone. The Respondent did not appear, and the Tribunal refused the Respondent’s request for a postponement. The judgment also amended the Respondent’s name to Back to Back Care Ltd.
The Tribunal recorded that the Claimant’s whistleblowing claim was dismissed on withdrawal by the Claimant. It then found the Claimant’s redundancy payment claim well-founded and ordered payment of £2,100. The claim for unlawful deductions was also found well-founded, with a total award of £3,044.43.
The Claimant’s claim for failure to pay notice pay, pleaded as breach of contract, was upheld and the Tribunal ordered payment of £1,844.80. The Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was also recorded as well-founded, but the Tribunal made no separate award of compensation for that claim.
The total sum payable by the Respondent to the Claimant was recorded as £6,989.23. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of sending the decision.

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.
