Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal at Reading, sitting before Employment Judge Grahame Anderson on 11 April 2025, determined the claims of Mr S. Page against Oxford Packaging Solutions Ltd (in Administration). The Claimant appeared in person; the Respondent did not attend. The Tribunal found that the Claimant was unfairly dismissed contrary to section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and that the Respondent was in breach of contract by failing to pay the Claimant his bonus.
The Tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the Claimant a basic award of £18,004.00, a compensatory award of £46,502.34, and £11,700 as compensation for breach of contract, producing a combined total of £76,206.34. The Tribunal also recorded that the Claimant is responsible for any national insurance or tax due on the sums awarded.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The judgment text does not set out detailed factual findings or named legal tests beyond the statutory reference to section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

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.
