Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment heard at Leeds by video on 15 August 2023, with Employment Judge T Knowles giving judgment on 17 August 2023 after the respondent did not appear. The tribunal found that Cavendish Property Investments Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mrs Sumner's wages and ordered it to pay £11,307.60 gross.
The tribunal also found that Mrs Sumner was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £8,359.00. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay her holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £807.60. The judgment records that the claim for breach of contract failed because she received and worked her notice period, and the unpaid notice issue was treated as covered by the wages award.
The combined monetary awards in the judgment total £20,474.20.

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.
