Tribunal's reasoningSitting at Manchester Employment Tribunal by CVP on 2 December 2025, Employment Judge Dunlop heard the claim against Watch Home Care Services Ltd (in voluntary liquidation) and the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The claimant appeared in person; the Secretary of State was represented by Miss H Riezzo.
The tribunal found that the claimant was employed under a contract of service with the first respondent and was therefore entitled to a statutory redundancy payment to be met by the Secretary of State's redundancy payments service. The claimant's weekly pay of £503.77 was the higher of two figures given by the liquidator on form RP14a, which the tribunal accepted reflected the first respondent's four-week pay period. Applying 20 years worked at an age factor of 1.5 to weekly pay of £503.77, the tribunal calculated a redundancy payment of £15,113.10.

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.
