Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued because no response had been presented to the claim. On the material before the tribunal, Employment Judge Ian McPherson determined that Mr D Crabb had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. Damages were awarded in the sum of £1,908, calculated as 12 weeks at £159 per week.
The tribunal also found that the dismissal was by reason of redundancy. It held that Mr Crabb was entitled to a redundancy payment of £4,770, calculated from an effective date of termination of 15 November 2019, his age of 71 at that date, and 30 years' continuous employment, being 30 weeks at £159 per week.
Finally, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay Mr Crabb's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £318, being two weeks at £159 per week. The combined monetary awards therefore totalled £6,996.

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.
