Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this Rule 21 judgment, Employment Judge Howden-Evans found that Ms D Palmer had three successful monetary claims against Julian Bytheway trading as JB Dairies. The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £525 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract with insufficient notice. Damages were awarded in the sum of £425.12 for that claim.
A further finding was made that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, and £78.72 gross was ordered in respect of unpaid holiday pay. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the sums awarded for unpaid wages and unpaid holiday pay.
The total liability was stated as £1,028.84. The judgment also provided that if the debt was not paid in full within 14 days, interest would accrue at 8% per annum on any unpaid amount, under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990.

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.
