Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing on 28 October 2024 before Employment Judge Choudry, with the claimant appearing in person and no appearance for the respondent, the tribunal granted the claimant's application to amend his claim to include a breach of contract complaint about a 20 per cent reduction in wages for July, August and September 2024.
The tribunal then found the claimant's constructive dismissal claim well founded and awarded £5,644, with the attached schedule recording a basic award of £5,144 and £500 for loss of statutory rights. It also found the amended breach of contract claim about the wage reduction well founded and ordered payment of £3,250.
A further breach of contract claim concerning the respondent's failure to pay for private medical benefits was also found well founded, and the tribunal ordered £7,912.45 in respect of that claim. The total award recorded by the judgment is £16,806.45.

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.
