Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr C Crooks appeared in person and both respondents did not attend. The judgment records that the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed on withdrawal, and it also records that the claim against the First Respondent was dismissed on withdrawal.
Against the Second Respondent, the tribunal upheld the complaint of unlawful deductions from wages in the sum of £4,735. The award included pay for four weeks' holiday taken by the Claimant in 2016 for which he had received no pay. The tribunal also upheld the notice pay claim in the sum of £187.50.
The tribunal made a further uplift of £750 under s38 Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide written particulars of employment. The complaint of race discrimination was found not well founded and dismissed. The monetary awards therefore totalled £5,672.50.

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.
