Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 13 October 2022, sitting by CVP, Employment Judge Beever ordered and declared that Mr Christensen t/a Back2Health was liable to pay Ms Chaplin £22,750.40. The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim was well founded. It recorded £500 for loss of statutory rights, agreed sums of £1,345.00 as the basic award and £14,164.40 as the compensatory award, and a 10% ACAS uplift of £1,416.40.
The tribunal also held that the unlawful deduction from wages claim was well founded. It recorded an agreed sum of £3,951 and ordered £250 to reflect interest. The holiday pay due on termination claim likewise succeeded, with an agreed sum of £1,053.60 and a further £70 ordered for interest.
Claims for breach of contract relating to bonus and pension contributions were dismissed as not well founded, and the claim under section 8 of the ERA for itemised pay statements was also dismissed. Separately, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £2,250 inclusive of VAT for the claimant's hearing bundle costs application and noted that any further costs application could be made by 27 October 2022.

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.
