Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Cambridge by CVP on 28 August 2025 before Employment Judge Heather. The claimant, Mr D Thomas, was represented by Mr K Connor (solicitor); the respondent, Posh Signs Peterborough Ltd (in liquidation), did not attend and was not represented. The Tribunal upheld three complaints: breach of contract in relation to notice pay, holiday pay (as an unauthorised deduction from wages for holidays accrued but not taken), and unfair dismissal.
On remedy, the respondent was ordered to pay £1,199.97 as damages for breach of contract (calculated on gross pay to reflect likely tax treatment as Post Employment Notice Pay), £449.95 in respect of holiday pay (with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance), and a basic award of £1,799.95 for unfair dismissal. The judgment records the total sum payable to the claimant as £3,449.97.
Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing; written reasons were not provided in this record, so the Tribunal's underlying reasoning is not set out in the available text.

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.
