Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningGillian Anderson presented her claim in the Newcastle Employment Tribunal on 9 March 2026. Hathaways The Law Firm Limited did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Singh decided that the claim could properly be determined under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The tribunal found that Ms Anderson was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered the respondent to pay £800 gross in damages. It also found that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £900. The recorded awards total £1,700, and the hearing listed for 16 March 2027 was cancelled.

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.
