EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4103119/2019 Mr J McLean

Respondent

Alexa Geddes

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 judgment on the papers after no response was presented to the claim. Employment Judge Sally Cowen decided the case on the available material and issued judgment without a hearing, cancelling the listed hearing on 5 June 2019.

The tribunal found that Mr J McLean had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded him damages of £945. It also found that he was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,417.50.

Separately, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,764. The judgment does not record any discrimination allegations, any legal test beyond Rule 21, or any separate split of the awards beyond the three amounts stated.

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.
