Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the claim on the papers under Rule 21 because the respondent entered no response, and the judge was satisfied there was sufficient information and evidence to decide the matter without a hearing. The judgment records that on 31 July 2020 the respondent dismissed 26 employees by reason of redundancy and later went into liquidation.

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.
