Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent entered no response, and the tribunal therefore recorded that the claimant’s claims of unfair dismissal, failure to pay holiday pay and breach of contract succeeded in default. Mrs M Walford was employed from 7 September 1998, her effective date of termination was 24 May 2019, she had 20 years' service, and the judgment records that the hearing was held remotely by CVP before Employment Judge Laidler on 12 January 2021.
The remedies schedule awards £4,851.84 under the heading 'Wrongful Dismissal Damages' for 12 weeks at net weekly pay. It also awards £831.34 for holiday pay, calculated on 10.28 days outstanding, and £1,455.66 for unlawful deductions from wages up to the termination date.
For unfair dismissal, the tribunal awarded a recalculated basic award of £14,719.61 and a compensatory award of £5,135.47. The compensatory award is broken down into immediate and future loss periods, with net earnings and pension loss calculated and new earnings deducted. The judgment notes that the basic award was recalculated because the weekly figure had not been adjusted to reflect the claimant’s P60 gross pay.
The separate breach of contract award is £922.59 and is broken down in the judgment as rent, pension contribution and accrued holiday. The text contains an inconsistency between the opening order, which states a total sum of £28,684.44, and the itemised summary at the end, which totals £27,916.51.

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.
