EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 8001581/2025 Held in Dundee by Cloud Video Platform on February 2026 Employment Judge J M Hendry Ms Caitlin Marie Samson
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that Ms Caitlin Marie Samson was made redundant from her role as a hairdresser by The Hair & Beauty Mill Ltd on 1 May 2025, following receipt of an email dated 30 April 2025 terminating her employment on redundancy grounds. It held that, because she had 5 years' service, she was entitled to 5 weeks' notice pay and awarded £1,201.20 in lieu of notice.
The Tribunal also awarded a statutory redundancy payment of £1,201.20, stated to be based on her 5 years' service and age. In addition, it found that at the date of termination she was entitled to accrued holiday pay, that one week's holiday pay had already been paid, and that she remained entitled to two weeks' holiday pay in total. It therefore ordered payment of the outstanding balance of holiday entitlement, assessed at £240.24. The total awarded was £2,642.64.

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.
