Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented, so Employment Judge F Jane Garvie issued judgment on the available material under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013. Mr L Harkin succeeded on the notice element of his claim: the tribunal found that he was dismissed in breach of contract and ordered Triple Glazed Windows Company Limited t/a Dalmation Windows to pay £209, being one week’s pay in lieu of notice.
The tribunal also found that he was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £214.50. It further awarded a compensatory sum of £6,045, calculated from a claimed loss to date of £6,061 less £16, based on 29 weeks’ loss of earnings at net weekly pay of £209.
In addition, the tribunal awarded £500 for loss of statutory rights. It also made an award of £858 in relation to failure to provide a statement of particulars of employment, assessed at four weeks’ pay at £214.50. The extracted text does not expressly use the phrase 'unfair dismissal' in the body of the judgment, but the compensatory award appears to be the dismissal compensation reflected in the case listing.

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.
