Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote CVP hearing on 28 June 2021 before Employment Judge Wilkinson, the tribunal rejected the claimant's notice pay claim and held that there had been no breach of contract by the respondent, so that limb was dismissed.
The tribunal upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim and ordered payment for unpaid wages and for holiday that had accrued but was untaken. The written record states £1,455.00 net for unpaid wages and £346.40 net for unpaid holiday, but also describes the unpaid wages head as comprising £1,600.00 plus £295.00, so the arithmetic in the extracted text does not fully reconcile.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to provide either a written statement of employment particulars or a written contract under section 1(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and awarded the claimant the statutory minimum of two weeks' pay under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, stated as £800.00 net. The total amount awarded was recorded as £3,041.40 net.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breach of contract | Notice pay claim dismissed; the tribunal found there had been no breach of contract by the respondent. | Dismissed | — | — |
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal upheld the unlawful deductions claim and awarded holiday pay for accrued but untaken leave. The extracted text records £1,455.00 net for unpaid wages, but the parenthetical figures (£1,600.00 plus £295.00) and the stated total award reconcile if that head is read as £1,895.00 net; the record is internally inconsistent, so confidence on the exact unpaid-wages figure is reduced. | Upheld | — | £2,241 |
| Other | Statutory award of two weeks' pay under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 after the respondent failed to provide either a written statement of employment particulars or a written contract. | Upheld | — | £800 |

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
