Respondent

TC Johnston & Sons Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

No response had been presented to the claim, so the tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment on the available material. It held that Mr R Crawford had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded him £419.89, described as one week's net pay.

The tribunal also found that the respondent had not provided a written statement of employment particulars in terms of section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and awarded £1,020, described as two weeks' gross pay. In a further finding, it held that the respondent had failed to provide personal protective equipment required by Regulation 4(1) of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 and the Personal Protective Equipment at Work (Amendment) Regulations 2022, that the claimant had to purchase the equipment himself, and awarded £65.

The tribunal refused a 25% uplift because the complaint did not include a claim for unfair dismissal. The hearing listed for 24 February 2023 was cancelled.

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.
