Claimant v Creative Medical Research Limited (in Liquidation)

The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to unpaid holiday pay. The respondent had failed to pay accrued but untaken holiday entitlement, constituting an unauthorised deduction from wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal found that the dismissal was not unfair. The respondent company was in liquidation and the circumstances surrounding the termination of employment did not meet the threshold for unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal determined that the claimant was not entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. This may have been due to insufficient qualifying service or because the circumstances of termination did not constitute a redundancy situation as defined by statute.

The tribunal found no breach of contract in relation to the manner of dismissal. The respondent had not wrongfully dismissed the claimant by failing to provide proper notice or payment in lieu of notice.
