Ms L Speakman v Jon Cogley Butchers Limited — 2025

The Tribunal corrected the respondent's name to John Cogley Butchers Limited and recorded that the claimant's employment, which began on 12 November 2015 with Price Freezers (St Helens) Limited (later Discount Foods for U Limited), transferred to the respondent on 8 July 2019 under TUPE 2006. The claimant attended in person; the respondent did not respond and did not attend.

The Tribunal found the claimant, aged 55 at the effective date of termination, was made redundant on 13 April 2024 and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,177.87, calculated on a gross weekly wage of £457.62 (including minimum wage underpayment) with a multiplicand of 1.5 over 13.5 weeks. The wrongful dismissal claim was found well-founded, with nine weeks' unpaid statutory notice awarded in the sum of £3,677.58 net.

The Tribunal further found that the respondent had not provided a section 1 ERA 1996 statement of terms and conditions following the TUPE transfer and ordered payment of two weeks' gross wages of £913.24. The judgment was sent to the parties on 24 January 2025, with statutory interest payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if unpaid after 14 days.
