Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the matter under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages succeeded in respect of unpaid wages of £377.50 and accrued holiday pay of £846.72. The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £5,424.50. The complaint that the respondent failed to pay a guarantee payment also succeeded, and £150.00 was awarded.
The tribunal rejected the request for compensation for unpaid tax refunds. It held that those sums were not within the statutory definition of wages for the purposes of an unauthorised deductions from wages claim, so that part of the case did not succeed. The judgment records a total award of £6,798.72.

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.
