Case Summary

The claimant brought claims against Mr C Charalambous (as executor of the late Mr J Charalambous) and Ms J Crossfield following her dismissal. The tribunal found the unfair dismissal claim against respondent 1 not well founded but the claim against respondent 2 (Ms Crossfield) well founded. Claims for redundancy payment arising from 16 March 2023 were dismissed as out of time, but a redundancy payment claim arising from the 1 February 2024 dismissal succeeded. Claims for notice pay, holiday pay, and Statutory Sick Pay against respondent 2 also succeeded.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The unfair dismissal claim against respondent 1 (executor of the deceased employer) was not well founded, but the unfair dismissal claim against respondent 2 (Ms Crossfield) was well founded and succeeded. The redundancy claim arising from the 16 March 2023 death was out of time and the tribunal did not consider it just and equitable to extend the time limit, but the redundancy claim arising from the 1 February 2024 dismissal succeeded. Claims for notice pay, holiday pay, and Statutory Sick Pay against respondent 2 also succeeded.
