    Maximum award for breach of contract at tribunal is £25,000 and if it amounts to that many months pay it could easily be more than that.
    But if that were the reason for a separate court claim, the OP would surely have said so by now?  Oh, hang on...

    How about the duty to mitigate? If OP is saying they are entitled to a year's notice, that would normally give plenty of time to find another job.

    I guess it depends on the circumstances. Not enough info in the OP.

    Is it for sick pay that should have been paid during employment?

    ...and no response to the question why they are choosing to take this separately. Not worth bothering further if they can't be bothered to answer that rather basic fact.
