Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment because the respondents stated that no part of the claim was contested. On the material before the tribunal, Employment Judge Ian McPherson issued judgment without a hearing and cancelled the hearing listed for 14 December 2017.
The tribunal held that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £4,950, calculated as 9 weeks' gross wages at £550 per week rather than the 10 weeks claimed in the claimant's later additional information. It also held that the dismissal was by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £4,311, calculated on the basis of the claimant's age, 9 years' continuous service from 10 June 2007 to 6 April 2017, and gross weekly pay capped at the statutory maximum of £479 per week.
The tribunal further found that the respondents had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £862.48, based on 2 weeks' net pay of £431.24 per week. The bottom-line amount ordered by the judgment was £10,123.48.

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.
