Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 26 March 2023. The Respondent did not present a valid response on time, so Employment Judge Bax made a rule 21 determination on the papers. The judgment records that the tribunal could properly determine the claim, or part of it, under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the Claimant’s wages and awarded £1,808.33 gross for that claim. It also found that the Respondent had failed to pay the Claimant’s holiday entitlement and awarded a further £200 gross. The total sum ordered was £2,008.33 gross.

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.
