Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made under Rule 21 after the claim was issued on 6 December 2021 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge decided that the claim, or part of it, could properly be determined under that rule.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, dismissed the claimant by reason of redundancy, and failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of the specified sums for each head, totalling £12,505.87.

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.
