Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment. The tribunal recorded that Mr J Clutton had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and that he was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,556, calculated as 7 weeks at £508 per week.
The claimant's breach of contract claim for notice pay succeeded. The tribunal ordered Mr Michael Graves to pay £3,768.73, stated to represent 7 weeks at £538.39 per week.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £3,768.73 as the gross amount. It added that if the respondent paid the tax and national insurance due to HMRC, payment of the net amount would meet the judgment debt.
Finally, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant in lieu of entitlement to annual leave and ordered payment of £767.10. No discrimination, harassment, or whistleblowing issues were recorded in the extracted judgment text.

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.
