Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr W McGrouther presented claims on 21 July 2022 for unpaid wages, unpaid holiday pay and breach of contract. A Rule 21 judgment was issued on 1 November 2022 when no response was received, then set aside after a late response was accepted on 9 February 2023. The hearing on 20 April 2023 was before Employment Judge Flanagan sitting alone; the respondent did not attend and had not engaged with the claimant or tribunal since January.
The tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages well founded. It ordered the respondent to pay £625 net for unpaid wages and £312 gross for accrued but unpaid holiday pay. It also found the respondent was in breach of contract for failing to pay agreed expenses and ordered £100. The total award recorded by the judgment is £1,037.

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.
