Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined without a hearing under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time and did not apply for an extension. Employment Judge C Taylor Date issued the judgment on 15 June 2023.
The tribunal found that the unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal claims were well founded and succeeded. It also declared that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and found the unpaid holiday pay claim well founded and successful. The TUPE claim, described as a failure to inform and consult under TUPE, was not well founded and was dismissed.
The respondent was ordered to pay £2,166.67 gross for wrongful dismissal, a £1,500 gross basic award and £1,312 net compensatory award for unfair dismissal, £1,000 gross for unauthorised deductions covering 31 May to 13 June, £3,370 gross holiday pay for 33.7 days, and £1,000 for loss of statutory rights, producing a total of £10,348.67. The judgment stated that the respondent was responsible for any applicable tax and national insurance.

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.
