Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Adkinson, sitting alone at Leicester Hearing Centre by video on 30 August 2024, heard the claim of Ms S Cook against Ms R Handley with both parties appearing in person.

The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £17,938.70 gross as a redundancy payment, £1,084.86 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages, and £8,279.40 gross as notice pay. By consent, and the tribunal thinking it fit to make the order, a further £467.61 gross was ordered for holiday pay.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons were not provided unless requested within 14 days. The judgment was sent to the parties on 6 September 2024.

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.
