Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place by video on 17 June 2024 before Employment Judge Gray. The respondent did not attend and was not represented; the tribunal recorded that its liquidators had confirmed it would not be taking part after the company went into creditors voluntary liquidation on 22 February 2024.
The tribunal held that Ms Williams' complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded and declared that she had been unfairly dismissed. For that successful claim, it awarded a basic award of £5,710 and a compensatory award of £9,884.35. The compensatory award was made up of a shortfall in earnings for 29 weeks of £2,207.48 net, loss of health insurance benefit valued at £5,200, loss of statutory employment rights of £500, and a 25% uplift of £1,976.87.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had not proven a qualifying disclosure within section 43B of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It further allowed the claim for accrued but untaken holiday leave on termination and awarded £25,977.60 net, calculated by reference to four weeks at £811.80 net per week over eight years, the tribunal having accepted that the claimant was not encouraged to take holiday while employed.
A separate complaint for failure to provide written particulars of employment succeeded, and the claimant was awarded two weeks' pay of £1,142. The judgment does not record any award for injury to feelings or interest, and the total amount awarded across the successful claims was £42,713.95.

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.
