Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals on 7 May 2024. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge said a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment therefore determined the claim on the basis of the material before the tribunal.
The tribunal found that Mr J Kelly was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £1,677.13 for that claim. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and awarded £2,770.82 in respect of that claim.
The total amount payable was £4,447.95. The judgment does not break the award down into broader remedy components such as basic or compensatory awards, and it does not record any discrimination, whistleblowing, or unfair dismissal findings.

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.
