Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Cuthbert heard the case in Bristol by video on 17 May 2023 and gave oral reasons. The claimant's claim for unlawful deductions from wages succeeded, and the tribunal awarded £11,240.55 gross. The appendix stated that this was calculated by reference to a loss period from 1 September 2022 to 26 October 2022, less 3.4 days' over-taken holiday, giving 52.6 days at a salary figure based on £78,000 per year.
The breach of contract claim succeeded only in respect of lack of notice. The tribunal awarded £6,500 gross, described as one month's pay. The separate part of the breach of contract claim concerning unpaid expenses failed and was dismissed.
The respondent's employer counter-claim was dismissed. The total sum awarded to the claimant was £17,740.55 gross.

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.
