Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued in chambers at Plymouth on 15 November 2019 under Rule 21 because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. The tribunal therefore determined the matter on the papers rather than after a contested hearing.
The tribunal held that Mrs C Mortier and Mr D Mortier’s claims for breach of contract succeeded, and that their claims for unlawful deduction from wages also succeeded. The judgment does not set out separate factual findings beyond the Rule 21 basis for disposal, and it does not identify any contested defence or response from HLJ Foods Limited.
No remedy figure was fixed in this judgment. The tribunal recorded that the appropriate remedy would be determined at a further hearing, with notice to be sent to the parties in due course.

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.
