Mr R Gorby
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 6 November 2022. The Respondent did not present a valid response in time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr R Gorby's wages and ordered payment of £12,599 gross. It also found a breach of contract in relation to pension contributions, stating that £18,400 had been deducted but not paid into the pension.
The judgment ordered the Respondent to pay £30,999 in total, being the sum of the two awards. No separate award breakdown beyond those two figures was recorded in the judgment.

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.
