Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Antonina Cistova brought two claims against Mr Craig Woods. The tribunal, sitting alone before Employment Judge Power on 10 February 2022, dealt first with a breach of contract complaint based on failure to pay notice pay. It found that claim had been presented outside the statutory time limit and that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present it within time, so the tribunal had no jurisdiction and dismissed that claim.
The tribunal also considered a claim for unlawful deduction from wages. It found that this claim had been brought within the statutory time limit and that the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear it. On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unlawful deductions from the claimant’s wages.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £4,506.68, described as £1,126.67 x 4, being gross pay due for October, November and December 2020 and January 2021. It also recorded that appropriate deductions for tax and national insurance contributions could be made before payment to the claimant.

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.
