Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not attend the hearing. The tribunal noted that the respondent had confirmed it would not be attending any hearing and proceeded in its absence under Rule 47 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's unauthorised deductions from wages claim under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in respect of unpaid holiday pay. It also upheld the claimant's breach of contract claim under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994 in respect of unpaid wages and notice pay.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £2,391 gross. The judgment states that the sum is gross and that the claimant must account for any income tax and/or employee national insurance contributions due on it. Written reasons were not provided because reasons were given orally at the hearing and no request for written reasons was made within the stated period.

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.
