Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 12 November 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Cadney decided under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure that a determination could properly be made of the claim, or part of it.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages, failed to pay notice due on dismissal in breach of contract, dismissed the claimant by reason of redundancy so that a redundancy payment was due, failed to pay holiday entitlement, and failed to reimburse expenses. The awards recorded were £1,438 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages, £8,628 for breach of contract in respect of notice, £21,570 as a redundancy payment, £215.70 for holiday entitlement, and £129.95 for expenses made up of £59.95 travel and £70 for brake service on a company van.
The respondent was ordered to pay £31,981.65 in total. The judgment was approved by Employment Judge Cadney on 5 May 2026, with the original judgment sent to the parties on 22 May 2026 and an amended judgment sent on 11 June 2026.

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.
