Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Watford on 16 April 2025, Regional Employment Judge Foxwell heard the claim with the claimant in person, supported by his mother, and the respondent represented by two directors. The judgment records two matters only: the holiday pay complaint was dismissed on withdrawal, and the notice pay complaint was treated as a breach of contract claim.
The tribunal found the breach of contract complaint in relation to notice pay was well-founded. It awarded the claimant £1,335.50 as damages and stated that the figure had been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay. The judgment does not record any separate award components beyond that sum.

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.
