Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr P Read, was dismissed on 27 December 2018 by reason of redundancy. The tribunal found he was entitled to a redundancy payment and awarded £1,524, payable without deductions.
The tribunal also found the dismissal was in breach of the duty to give notice under the contract and/or s.86 ERA 1996. It did not make any award for loss of notice pay because it found the claimant had fully mitigated his loss.
Separately, the respondent breached s.1 ERA 1996 by failing to provide a statement of employment particulars within 8 weeks of commencement, contrary to s.38 EA 2002. The tribunal awarded 3 weeks' pay of £1,740 for that breach. It noted that the Recoupment Regulations did not apply and that interest would ordinarily accrue if payment was not made within 42 days.

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.
