The respondent did not appear at the hearing before Employment Judge Shepherd in Leeds on 2 October 2023. The tribunal found the claim well-founded and succeeded on the evidence before it.
The judgment ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £5,979.83. It also amended the respondent's name to Swish A Ltd, described in the judgment as the claimant's employer.

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.
