Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, and Employment Judge James Young issued a rule 21 judgment on the available material. The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract because he was given no notice and no payment in lieu of notice. It awarded £490.38, described as one week's pay, for that breach.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It awarded £225.60 for 2 days' holiday accrued but untaken at the date of termination of employment. The hearing listed for 27 November 2019 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.
