Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal sat in chambers at Plymouth on 3 January 2020 and entered judgment under Rule 21 because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. On that basis, Miss Leah Hughes succeeded in her claim for unlawful deduction from wages.
The tribunal also found that the claimant’s claim for accrued but unpaid holiday pay succeeded. In addition, it recorded that the respondent failed to issue a written statement of the terms of employment and failed to issue written pay statements.
The judgment did not assess compensation. It stated that the appropriate remedy would be determined at a further hearing, the notice of which was attached to 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.
