Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Bristol hybrid hearing on 12 May 2022, Employment Judge Le Grys found that the claimant's breach of contract claim for dismissal without notice was well founded and awarded £200 gross. The tribunal also upheld his claim for unauthorised deduction from wages and awarded £600 gross.
The tribunal further upheld the claim for unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of 17 days' untaken holiday on dismissal. It recorded a 25% uplift because the respondent had failed to follow the ACAS Code, bringing that award to £850 gross. It additionally ordered the respondent to pay £400 gross for failure to provide a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment.
A separate breach of contract claim based on the claimant being an apprentice was dismissed as not well founded. The total sum payable by the respondent was £2,050 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.
