ETZ 4(WR) EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Judgment of the Employment Tribunal in Undefended Case No: 8001909/2025 Heard at Edinburgh on the Cloud Based Video Platform on January 2026 Employment Judge J G d’Inverno Mr Declan Redgrave v New Town Fox — 2026

The tribunal found that New Town Fox employed Mr Declan Redgrave from 14 July 2019 until 25 April 2025. After the business lost the Dublin Street premises on 7 March 2025, the claimant continued working from the Dundas Street premises, was content to do so, and had no intention of ending the employment. He took planned leave from 7 April 2025.

When his pay was not paid into his bank account, and when he was told on 25 April 2025 that his name did not appear on any rota for further work, the tribunal held that the respondent's non-payment of wages and failure to roster him amounted to termination without notice under section 95(1)(a) ERA 1996 on 25 April 2025. The respondent did not appear and did not show that the reason for dismissal was one of the potentially fair reasons in section 98 ERA 1996, so the dismissal was unfair.

The tribunal awarded a basic award of 3138.50, a compensatory award of 2343.75 for continuing net loss of wages from 25 April until 12 May 2025, and 2467.10 for five weeks' statutory notice entitlement. It also found that as at the effective date of termination the claimant had 276 hours of carried-forward and accrued untaken paid annual leave, valued at 3256.80 net at 11.06 per hour, less 430.70 already received, leaving 2826.10 payable. The claimant secured new employment on 12 May 2025 at a higher salary, which ended the continuing wage loss.
