Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the final hearing held at Glasgow Employment Tribunal via video/CVP on 6 March 2023, Employment Judge Tinnion found that Mrs Audrey Donovan's claim for a statutory redundancy payment under s.164(2)(c)-(d) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. The tribunal also found that her breach of contract claim, brought for 12 weeks' notice pay, was well founded.
The tribunal further upheld her holiday pay claim under s.13(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and reg 14(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It ordered Lighthouse Stores (Kilmarnock) Ltd. to pay £7,603.12 in total, comprising £4,900.50 for redundancy payment, £2,085 for notice pay, and £617.62 for holiday pay. The judgment records the redundancy calculation by reference to age 56 at the effective date of termination on 1 September 2022, 23 years' continuous employment, and weekly gross pay of £178.20; the notice pay as 12 weeks at £173.75 weekly net pay; and the holiday pay as 11.85 days of unused annual leave accrued between 1 April 2022 and 1 September 2022 at £52.12 net per day.

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.
