Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard on 15 August 2023 before Employment Judge Bowen. The claimant failed to attend. The respondent was represented by Mr Richard Ward, the respondent's in-house People/HR Advisor.

The written judgment records that the claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction of wages, breach of contract and wrongful dismissal (notice pay), and failure to provide written reasons for dismissal were all brought in time. The stated statutory references were s.94 and s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996, s.3 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994, and s.92/3 Employment Rights Act 1996.

The extracted text does not contain any merits findings or any monetary award. It states that the reasons for the timeliness decision are summarised in the accompanying Case Management Order, and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
