Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim. Under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, Employment Judge J Hendry issued judgment on the available material and made findings without a hearing. The judgment records that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages, and orders payment of £2,737.23 gross, made up of £2,224 for December 2024 and one week’s pay of £513.23 for 01/01/2025 to 08/01/2025.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £6,158.76 gross, calculated by reference to 12 weeks’ pay at £513.23 per week, described in the judgment as the statutory maximum.
In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a gross redundancy payment of £13,857.21, calculated as 27 weeks at £513.23 per week. The judgment further states that the respondent may deduct income tax and employee national insurance contributions, if required by law, before paying the balance to the claimant and remitting the deductions to HMRC.

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.
