Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S Walden brought a claim against Mr G E Nosworthy, trading as Cree Godfrey & Wood, which was determined under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Tribunal therefore decided the claim on the papers and made findings on the pleaded monetary claims.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It recorded that her contractual notice entitlement was 12 weeks and that her weekly pay was £500.16 gross, so damages for notice were assessed at £6,001.92 gross, subject to deduction of 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. Using the figure of 20 x 1.5 x £500.16, the tribunal awarded £15,004.80. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement of 22 days and awarded £2,200.66 gross, calculated at 22 x £100.03.
The total gross award recorded in the judgment was £23,207.38. No separate findings on compensation for discrimination, injury to feelings, or interest were recorded in the judgment text supplied.

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.
