Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat in chambers under Rule 21 after the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. It therefore determined the claim on the papers and found for the claimant, Mr J Blight, against Drain & Tank Engineering Limited.
The tribunal held that the claimant's breach of contract claim succeeded and awarded one week's notice pay in the net sum of £424.03. It also found that the claimant's unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded and ordered payment of 153 hours' pay in the gross sum of £1,989.00.
The claimant's claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay also succeeded, with an award of three weeks' pay in the gross sum of £1,560.00. In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to provide a written statement of the particulars of employment and ordered two weeks' pay in the sum of £1,040.00. The total award was £5,013.03.

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.
