Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 21 default judgment in which no response had been presented. Employment Judge Frances Eccles decided the claim on the available material and made four awards in favour of the claimant, Mr E Hay, against Mr R B McGarrie t/a W G Thomson.
The tribunal held that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £4,320, described as 12 weeks at £360. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £10,080, calculated as 28 weeks at £360.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £540. It further ordered £720, described as two weeks at £360, as compensation for failure to provide the claimant with a statement of his employment particulars.

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.
