Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 14 June 2021. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On the merits, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. Her contractual entitlement was 6 weeks' notice and, using weekly pay of £504.81, damages were assessed at £3,028.86 gross, subject to deductions for income tax and national insurance contributions.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment calculated at 6 x 1.5 x £504.81, producing £4,543.29. In addition, the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement of 2.62 days, and £264.52 gross was ordered in respect of that entitlement.
The total gross award was £7,836.67.

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.
