JUDGMENT

[1]To the extent that any complaints alleging breach of contract or for holiday pay were presented, those complaints are dismissed on withdrawal. The only complaint was one alleging unfair dismissal and it was presented in time.

[2]The claimant had continuous employment with the respondent between 27 September 2021 and 29 February 2024. This is a period of two complete years.

[3]The dismissal reason was redundancy.

[4]The claimant was unfairly dismissed on 29 February 2024.

[5]Had a fair consultation process taken place there is a 100% chance that the claimant would have been dismissed at the end of that fair process

[6]A fair consultation process could have been completed by no later than 7 March 2024. Even though the respondent could, in theory, have given the claimant a warning of potential redundancy earlier than 29 February 2024 they did not do so and so a fair consultation would have been one which commenced on 29 February and which concluded on 7 March 2024.
