Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was determined under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because no response had been presented to the claim. Employment Judge J McCluskey decided the matter on the available material. The judgment records that the claimant, John Boxall, succeeded on all three heads of claim against Stellar Plumbing Heating Ltd.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded gross damages of £8,160.00, calculated as 12 weeks at £680.00 per week. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £15,300.00, calculated as 22.5 weeks at £680.00 per week.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £2,040.00, calculated as 15 days at £136.00 per day. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for paying any tax or National Insurance on the breach of contract and holiday payment awards. The total gross sum awarded was £25,500.00.

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.
