Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed Mr Harrell's unlawful deduction from wages claim, which concerned tax deducted and paid to HMRC by the respondent, finding that claim was not well-founded. It also dealt with the unpaid holiday pay claim as withdrawn by the claimant; the written judgment records that claim as dismissed following the withdrawal.
The tribunal upheld the claim described as breach of contract and wrongful dismissal in relation to the respondent ending the claimant's contract with immediate effect, and awarded £90. It also upheld the complaint that the claimant had not been provided with a written statement of employment particulars and awarded £288.
The respondent was ordered to pay a total of £378, made up of the £90 award on the wrongful dismissal/breach of contract claim and the £288 award for failure to provide written particulars. The judgment was given orally at the hearing, and the written record notes that written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days.

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.
