Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 4 July 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure without a hearing on the merits as between the parties.
The Tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages (£1,329.30) and had dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding damages of £1,329.30. The claimant was also found to have been dismissed by reason of redundancy and entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,215.00, and the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement of £1,993.95.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £7,867.55 in total. The judgment was approved by Employment Judge Livesey on 7 March 2025 and sent to the parties on 21 March 2025.

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.
