Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 after the respondent failed to enter a response within 28 days of the claim form being sent to it on 25 March 2026. Employment Judge F Eccles decided that, on the available material, liability could properly be determined without a hearing.
The tribunal found that Mr D Miller was unfairly dismissed by MF Roofing Ltd. It ordered a redundancy payment of £4,760, calculated as 7 weeks at £680 per week, and a compensatory award of £1,896, made up of £1,296 for loss of wages based on an £162 weekly difference for 8 weeks, plus £600 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal also found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £2,584, calculated as 152 hours at £17 per hour. It further found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £6,120, calculated as 9 weeks' pay at £680 per week.
The judgment also ordered payment of pension contributions. The numerical award recorded is £183.60, calculated as £20.40 employer contributions per week for 9 weeks, although the wording of the judgment also refers to a period of 6 months and states the amount in words inconsistently. The total of the stated numerical awards is £15,543.60.

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.
