THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 5892/09

Chairman (sitting alone): Mr P Buggy
Appearances:

3. During the course of this hearing, I issued my decision in respect of redundancy payments orally. At the same time, I gave my reasons orally.
Facts

Age: 27
Length of service: 10 Years
Gross weekly pay: £350
