Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Bristol on 4 December 2020 before Employment Judge Millard. The claimant, Ms Jade Young, appeared in person. The respondent, Desmond White T/A The Stag Inn Lake Ltd (in voluntary liquidation), did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the claimant’s claims for a redundancy payment, breach of contract relating to notice, and unpaid holiday pay were dismissed upon withdrawal because they had been satisfied by the Redundancy Payments Service.
The remaining claim was for unlawful deductions from wages. The tribunal held that it was not reasonably practicable for that claim to have been brought within time and that it was brought within such further period as was reasonable in accordance with s.23(4) Employment Rights Act 1996. It therefore found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £563.76, described as representing five weeks of unpaid wages. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
