Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge R Brace dealt with the case under Rule 21 because the respondent did not present an ET3 response form and there was sufficient material before the tribunal to determine liability. On that basis, the tribunal upheld the claimant's claims for age discrimination, unlawful deductions from wages, breach of contract, unpaid holiday pay under regulation 14(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, failure to provide a written statement of particulars, and failure to provide a written itemised pay statement.
The judgment is a liability-only decision. It does not set out detailed findings of fact or reasons for each head of claim in the extracted text, and it states that the matter would proceed to a separate remedy hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone for one hour. No monetary award is recorded in this decision.

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.
