Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr R Angelescu had been employed by T33 Holdings Ltd from 1 October 2021 until 24 March 2023. It held that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded for the period 1 June 2022 to 23 March 2023 and ordered the respondent to pay £26,609, described as the gross sum deducted.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant’s breach of contract complaints in relation to notice pay and non-payment of bonus. It ordered £875 for notice pay, calculated on gross pay to reflect likely tax treatment as Post Employment Notice Pay, and £10,000 for the bonus claim, also calculated on gross pay with tax and national insurance payable by the claimant.
Separately, the tribunal found that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 and increased the compensatory award by 25%, adding £6,652.34. It also ordered the respondent to pay £4,800 for the claimant’s legal costs because of the way it had conducted the proceedings, and imposed a separate £20,000 penalty payable to the Secretary of State for breaches including unauthorised deductions from wages, outstanding holiday pay and the handling of grievances.

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.
