Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Benson, sitting alone at Liverpool by video on 27 May 2025, considered three complaints brought by Carolyne Hennerley against AMC 2020 Limited. The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded in respect of the period from 1 October 2024 to 30 October 2024, and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £3,442.36 as the gross sum deducted, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal also found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay well-founded, awarding £3,302.37 in damages. That figure represents six weeks of statutory notice pay at £550.39 net per week, calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the sum will be taxable as Post Employment Notice Pay. Under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal further determined that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,300, computed using the statutory cap on gross weekly pay of £700 multiplied by 1.5.
The judgment was given orally at the hearing and sent to the parties on 11 June 2025. The accompanying notice records that the relevant decision day is 11 June 2025, the calculation day is 12 June 2025, and the stipulated rate of interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 is 8% per annum, payable only if the sums are not paid in full 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.
