EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 8001542/2025 Employment Judge: N M Hosie Mrs D Neish
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, and Employment Judge N M Hosie issued judgment on the available material under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judgment records that the tribunal ordered the respondent, Moray Fire Protection Ltd, to make three separate payments to the claimant, Mrs D Neish.
First, the tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages and ordered payment of £924.48 gross, calculated by reference to 9 days at 8 hours per day at £12.84 per hour. Second, it found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £1,078.56 gross. The notice calculation is internally expressed as £359.52 per week x 3 weeks, although the judgment also refers to '12 weeks' pay'.
Third, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a gross redundancy payment of £1,617.84, calculated on the basis of £359.52 per week x 4.5 weeks. The judgment also states that the respondent may deduct income tax and employee National Insurance Contributions where required by law, and remit those sums to HMRC before paying the balance to the claimant.

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.
