Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued on the material available because no response had been presented to the claim. Employment Judge Ian McPherson found that Miss M Horne had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. The tribunal calculated that payment at £1,828.80 using 6 years' employment, an age of 36 years, the effective date of termination of employment on 30 June 2017, and gross weekly wages of £304.80.
The tribunal also found that the respondent dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice. Damages were awarded at £1,828.80, described as 6 weeks' pay in lieu of notice.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £304.80, being one week's holiday pay. The hearing listed for 20 December 2017 was cancelled, and the judgment records that the clerk was directed to copy it to the Registrar of Companies because Companies House showed an active proposal to strike the company off the register.

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.
