Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Bristol video hearing on 23 November 2022 before Employment Judge J Bax, the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that M A G Engineering Company Limited unfairly dismissed Mr P Wild, that his claim for unlawful deductions from wages was well founded, and that the respondent was also in breach of contract in relation to deductions made for pension contributions.
For the unlawful deductions and breach of contract matters, the tribunal made a single gross award of £1,776 because both claims related to the same sum of money. It also found that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of initial employment particulars contrary to s.1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and awarded two weeks' pay under s.38 in the sum of £1,080.
The unfair dismissal award was broken down into a basic award of £1,620 and a compensatory award of £8,580.31, made up of loss of earnings to the date of the hearing, future loss of earnings and loss of statutory rights. The tribunal added a 10% uplift of £858.03 for non-compliance with the ACAS code of practice, producing an unfair dismissal award of £11,058.34 and a total sum payable of £13,914.34. It recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 did not apply.

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.
