Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented by Contract Solutions (Grampian) Ltd. Employment Judge F Eccles therefore determined Mr T Malcolm's claim on the available material under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judgment records that Mr Malcolm was unfairly dismissed and awards a statutory redundancy payment of £21,570, calculated as 30 weeks at the capped rate of £719 per week. It does not identify a separate monetary award for unfair dismissal.
The Tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and awarded £2,157 gross for three weeks' wages. It awarded £1,344.53 gross for unpaid holiday entitlement. It also found that Mr Malcolm was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £8,628 gross, representing 12 weeks at the capped rate of £719 per week. The ordered sums total £33,699.53.

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.
