Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 17 September 2021 before Employment Judge Halliday, the respondent did not attend. The tribunal held that Mr D Rockett's unfair dismissal complaint did not succeed.
The tribunal found an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £3,432 net for underpayment of salary. It also found that the claimant had been constructively dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice pay and awarded £1,820 damages.
The tribunal further found breaches of contract for unpaid pension contributions and for failing to provide a contract of employment or statement of employment particulars, awarding £1,433.25 and a further four weeks' pay of £1,820 respectively. The holiday pay, payslips, and Working Time Regulations complaints were dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant.

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.
