Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge R Mackay heard the case by CVP on 12 January 2022. The respondent, Ochilview Home Improvements Ltd, did not appear or have representation. The tribunal dealt with claims brought by Mr L Kane and Mr B Blackwood for notice pay, holiday pay and redundancy payment.
The tribunal dismissed the notice pay and holiday pay claims for both claimants. It found those claims had been brought outwith the applicable time limits and was satisfied it had been reasonably practicable for them to have been presented in time, so those claims were dismissed.
The redundancy payment claims succeeded. Mr L Kane was awarded £1,632 gross and Mr B Blackwood was awarded £3,808 gross. The judgment records that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
