Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Gibson, sitting alone by CVP on 23 and 24 June 2025, found the Claimant's unfair dismissal claim well founded. The Tribunal determined that the Claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and, under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,864. No basic award was payable in addition to that redundancy payment.
The Tribunal awarded £500 as compensation for the loss of statutory rights flowing from the unfair dismissal. The Claimant's separate complaint of breach of contract in respect of notice pay was also well-founded, and the Respondent was ordered to pay £1,408 as damages, calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood that the sum would be taxed as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The total sum the Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant was £8,772. Written reasons were not provided as the reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
