Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered default judgment because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. It held that Mr D Vellashjordi was unfairly dismissed by RMKSAY Limited and awarded compensation for unfair dismissal.
For the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal awarded a basic award of £985.20 and a compensatory award of £9,326.69, giving a total unfair dismissal award of £10,311.89. The judgment records no separate factual reasoning beyond the default judgment basis and the award of compensation.
The tribunal also found the claimant's claims for unlawful deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay to be well-founded. It awarded £6,784.44 for unpaid wages and £2,330.48 for unpaid holiday pay, both noted as limited by section 23(4A) Employment Rights Act 1996.
In addition, the tribunal made an additional award pursuant to section 38 Employment Act 2002, assessed at four weeks' wages and quantified at £1,313.60. The total award recorded in the judgment was £20,740.41.

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.
