Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Harding entered judgment in default under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present a Response within the relevant time limit. The tribunal upheld the claimant’s claims for an unauthorised deduction from wages, breach of contract in respect of notice, redundancy payment, and unpaid holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £242.50 gross for unpaid wages, £918.70 net for notice, £567.00 as a redundancy payment, and £45.20 gross for holiday pay.
The tribunal also recorded that no award was made for the alleged breach of the childminding contract because that claim did not fall within the tribunal’s jurisdiction. The total amount payable by the respondent to the claimant was £1,773.40.

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.
