Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment dated 19 June 2020, with the respondent having failed to present a valid response. Employment Judge Hughes found that Pat Black's Caribbean Kitchen (martineau Place) Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction of three days' pay from Miss Berry's wages, had failed to provide her with terms and conditions, and had failed to pay her holiday entitlement.
The tribunal ordered £197.04 gross for the wages deduction, £218.00 net damages for the failure to provide terms and conditions, and £591.12 gross for unpaid holiday entitlement. The judgment recorded those sums as amounting to £1,006.16 before any uplift.
The tribunal then stated that the respondent had failed to follow the ACAS Code and uplifted the amount by 25%, producing a total payable of £1,257.70. The extracted judgment does not apportion the uplift between the individual awards or give any further reasons.

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.
