Mr A Dutton
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered judgment in default under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present a response within the time limit. It found that HM Reef Acrylic & Ceramic Manufacturing Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr A Dutton's wages and ordered payment of £63.97 gross.
It also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and ordered £630, described in the judgment as gross pay of £504 with a 25% ACAS uplift. A further award of £600, described as two weeks' pay, was made for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars under s.38 of the Employment Act 2002. The claims for awards under s.12 and s.207A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 were dismissed. The sums payable were stated to be gross, and Mr Dutton was responsible for any income tax and National Insurance contributions.

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.
