Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued on the papers after no response had been received from the respondent within the allotted time. On that basis, Employment Judge Perry found that PJ's Pubs Ltd had made an unlawful deduction from the claimant's wages under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £1,923.00 gross.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to compensate the claimant for holiday leave accrued at the termination of employment. It ordered payment of £407.55 gross in respect of the accrued leave entitlement.
Finally, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract and awarded £442.99 net as damages. The judgment records no additional reasoning, legal test, or separate apportionment beyond these sums.

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.
