Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Sheffield by CVP on 11 March 2025 before Employment Judge Brain. Neither party attended or was represented; the respondent's insolvency practitioner had notified the Tribunal that there would be no attendance on the respondent's behalf. The Tribunal proceeded under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the information available.
The complaint of unfair dismissal was well founded: the respondent admitted dismissing the claimant and failed to prove a fair reason. A basic award of £4,846.14 was ordered, calculated on agreed service from 6 May 2017 to 1 March 2024 (six complete years) at a gross weekly multiplicand of £538.46 with a multiplier of 9. No compensatory award was made, the claimant not having satisfied the Tribunal that such an award was just and equitable.
The complaints of breach of contract (notice pay), holiday pay and unauthorised deduction from wages were each not well founded and were dismissed, the claimant having failed to prove those claims to the Tribunal's satisfaction. The Tribunal further recorded that, under s.124A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, there could be no increase in the basic award for non-compliance with the ACAS Code, and in any event the claimant had not proved any failure to comply with the Code.

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.
