EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4103767/2020 Mr C Colquhoun
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 21. The tribunal found that Mr C Colquhoun had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered the respondent, George Penman, to pay damages of £580.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £700. The judgment does not record any further substantive dispute, remedy breakdown, or legal test beyond the rule 21 procedure.
The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £1,280, made up of the £580 notice damages and the £700 redundancy payment.

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.
