Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Carol Mary Jean Innes began work with Campbell Connon on 1 June 2008 as an Executry Assistant at the Aberdeen office, working part time. On 24 October 2022 she was told that a Judicial Factor’s team had arrived, attended the office, surrendered work-related property, and was told not to return to work. She was later told by telephone, on or about 31 October 2022, that she had been made redundant with a termination date of 24 October 2022, and a letter dated 2 November 2022 stated that there was no money within the former firm to settle any claim for salary, holiday pay, notice or redundancy.

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.
