Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the South West Regional Employment Tribunal on 13 February 2024. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure that a determination could properly be made on the claim, or part of it, in the respondent's absence.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr E Benfield's wages. It ordered The New Admiralty Hotel Ltd to pay the claimant £530 gross. The judgment does not set out any separate heads of remedy beyond that sum.

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.
