Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 28 November 2022 and sent to the respondent on 29 November 2022 and again on 7 March 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so Employment Judge Camp proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 and made a determination on the claim without a hearing, cancelling the hearing listed for 15 June 2023.
The tribunal found that CPF Ltd trading as The Forest Hotel had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, identified in the judgment as 4 weeks' pay, and had also failed to pay his accrued holiday entitlement, identified as 2 weeks' pay. The judgment records a combined award of £4,038.46 for those sums. No separate breakdown is given for each head of claim.

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.
