Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge B Campbell held that the claimant's contract of employment did not transfer from Zambo Bar Limited to Manorview Hotels Limited under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. On that basis, all claims against the second respondent were dismissed.
As against the first respondent, the tribunal found that Mr Coulter was unfairly dismissed on grounds of redundancy on 22 February 2021. It also awarded him a statutory redundancy payment of £3,100.95.
The tribunal further awarded damages of £461.66 for the first respondent's failure to pay five weeks' notice of termination, calculating that figure as £1,717.35 less £1,255.69 already paid. It also awarded a compensatory award of £686.94 for unfair dismissal and £1,717.35 for accrued but unpaid holiday on termination.

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.
