Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Halliday, sitting alone at Bristol by CVP on 24 November 2025, found the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages during the period 10 June 2024 to 27 September 2024, and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £1,268, being the gross sum deducted, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal also found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay well-founded. By consent, the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £2,646 as damages for breach of contract, calculated as £2,880 less a £234 overpayment of holiday pay. The figure was calculated on gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the sum would be treated as Post Employment Notice Pay and taxed accordingly.
Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing; written reasons would not be provided unless requested at the hearing or in writing within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties.

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.
