Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so Employment Judge Frances Eccles issued a Rule 21 judgment on the available material. The respondent was The Howgate Restaurant and the claimant was Mr S Blake. The judgment records that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and that the respondent was ordered to pay damages of £5,304, calculated as 12 weeks at £442 per week.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. On that basis, it held that he was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,188, calculated as 14 weeks at £442 per week. The judgment does not record any other heads of loss, and it does not allocate the sums into any further remedy categories beyond these two amounts.

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.
