Miss E Ritchie
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent indicated that she did not seek to defend the proceedings and did not attend the hearing. After hearing the claimant's evidence, the tribunal found that Miss E Ritchie had been employed from 1 May 2018 to 8 July 2020 and had been dismissed by reason of redundancy.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim was well founded. It recorded that the claimant did not seek the compensatory element of compensation and did not wish to be reinstated. It found that she was entitled to a basic award of £149.40, but that this was offset against the redundancy payment, so that nothing was payable on the unfair dismissal claim.
The tribunal also found the redundancy payment claim well founded and ordered payment of £149.40. It upheld the claim for breach of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £2,258.25, £298.80 and £493.02. The judgment therefore awarded a total of £3,199.47 payable to the claimant.

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.
