Mr R Mitchell v Doing More Print Limited — 2024

The claims were issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunals on 2 March 2024 and 3 March 2024. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claims under rule 21. The judge also removed DM Print Limited (in Creditors Voluntary Liquidation) from the proceedings under rule 34 and was satisfied, on the basis of the payslips and other evidence, that Doing More Print Limited was the claimant's former employer and the correct respondent.

On the substance of the claims, Employment Judge Bright found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £605.48 gross. The judge also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £7,265.76. In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £16,045.22.

The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £605.48 gross. The total monetary award reflected the four sums ordered in the judgment, amounting to £24,521.94.
