Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because no response had been presented, so Employment Judge J Hendry determined the case on the available material. On that basis, the judge held that Mrs W Simpson had been dismissed and was entitled to pay in lieu of notice.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay 12 weeks' gross notice pay of £2,503.56, calculated at £208.63 per week. The judge also held that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,755.34, calculated at 18 weeks' pay at the same weekly rate.
The respondent was permitted to deduct any income tax and employee National Insurance contributions required by law before payment, provided the sums were remitted to HMRC and evidence of the deductions was given to the claimant. The total monetary award was therefore £6,258.90.

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.
