Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 22 judgment in which no response had been presented to the claim, so Employment Judge NM Hosie determined the case on the available material. The judgment records that the respondent failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and orders payment of £1,267.87 gross, calculated by reference to 19 days’ accrued but untaken holiday and a monthly salary of £2,030.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. Damages of £1,873.84 gross were awarded for four weeks’ notice, calculated using a weekly rate of £468.46. The judgment states that the respondent may deduct income tax and employee National Insurance contributions from this award if required by law.
A further redundancy payment of £2,810.76 gross was ordered, calculated as six weeks’ pay at £468.46 per week. The judgment again permits deductions of income tax and employee National Insurance contributions from that sum if required by law. The total sums ordered add to £5,952.47 gross.

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.
