Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment given because the respondent did not file an ET3 response form. Employment Judge Brace recorded that there was sufficient material before the tribunal to determine the case in the respondent's absence.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for unpaid wages and awarded £164.20. It also upheld the claimant's claim for notice pay and awarded £164.20. The bottom-line total was £328.40.
The judgment included the standard tax wording that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the sums awarded in respect of unpaid wages and unpaid holiday pay. No separate award breakdown beyond the two sums above was recorded.

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.
