Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunal on 25 January 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages (£2,353.85 gross), that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice (£51,000.00 gross), and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement (£1,961.54 gross). The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance payable on these sums, and the hearing listed for 27 June 2024 was cancelled.

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.
