Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was entered in default under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present a response in time. The tribunal noted that on 31 January 2024 the respondent indicated that the claims for wages and bonus were not contested. By consent, the claim was amended to include ongoing unpaid wages and bonus payments for the period September to December 2023, as set out in the claimant's application dated 12 January 2024.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. It ordered payment of unpaid salary from May to December 2023 inclusive in the sum of £80,000 and unpaid bonus in the sum of £45,000, making a total of £125,000, subject to deduction of tax and national insurance.
The claimant's breach of contract claim succeeded in relation to pension deductions made but not paid to his pension provider for the period May to December 2023. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £6,400. The claim for holiday pay was dismissed.

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.
