Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued because no response had been presented to the claim. The Employment Judge decided the case on the available material and made findings in the claimant's favour on each pleaded money claim.
The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £3,500, described as two months' wages at £1,750 per month. It also held that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,826.95, calculated by reference to seven weeks' statutory minimum notice at £403.85 per week rather than the 10.5 weeks claimed.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £4,240.43. That figure was based on 10.5 weeks' pay at £403.85 per week, 7 years' continuous employment, and age 52 at the effective date of termination on 30 June 2017. It also found that holiday entitlement had not been paid and ordered £323.08, being four days at £80.77 per day.
The individual awards total £10,890.46. No discrimination, unfair dismissal, or other non-monetary findings are recorded in the judgment text provided.

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.
