Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. On that basis the tribunal proceeded to a determination on the papers without a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £1,386.52, calculated on gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable on the sum as Post Employment Notice Pay. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's accrued but untaken holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £831.90 gross.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,079.78. The respondent was consequently ordered to pay the claimant £4,298.20 in total.

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.
