Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim form for the three joined cases was sent to the respondent on 31 December 2019. The respondent did not enter a response within the 28-day period, and the Employment Judge decided under Rule 21 that the claims could be determined on the available material without a hearing.
For Ms Dawn O'Rawe, the tribunal awarded a total of £8,193, made up of £5,405 statutory redundancy pay, £2,556 payment in lieu of notice, and £232 accrued but untaken holiday pay. The judgment records that the redundancy calculation was based on service from 1 February 1989 to 25 October 2019, the notice payment on the statutory maximum of 12 weeks' net pay, and the holiday payment on four untaken holidays.
For Ms Deborah Morrison Joss, the tribunal awarded £4,254.70, comprising £2,119.50 redundancy pay, £1,884 payment in lieu of notice, and £251.20 holiday pay. For Ms Charlene Erskine, the tribunal awarded £4,291.60, comprising £2,016 redundancy pay, £2,007.60 payment in lieu of notice, and £268 holiday pay. In each case the judgment sets out the service period used for redundancy and the week-based calculation used for the notice and holiday elements.

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.
