Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was before Employment Judge Rostant by CVP on 1 February 2024. The tribunal recorded that the respondent's responses to case numbers 1805294/2023 and 1808011/2023 were struck out, and that there was no response to the remaining claim. On the merits, the claimant's automatic unfair dismissal claim based on having made a protected disclosure failed and was dismissed.
The tribunal then upheld the claim described in the judgment as breach of s.8 Employment Rights Act 1966, in relation to the pay periods 26 June to 23 July, 24 July to 20 August, and 21 August to 11 September. It ordered the respondent to pay £3,122.15 for the unnotified deductions in those periods.
The claimant also succeeded in his breach of contract claim for failure to give notice, with an award of £1,615.38 gross. A separate unauthorised deduction from wages claim succeeded for £3,785.80 gross; the tribunal explained that this reflected 17 weeks' pay at £538.46, 1.94 weeks' accrued holiday pay on termination, a £436.81 minimum wage shortfall for the periods 27 May to 25 June and 26 June to 23 July, and actual pay received of £6,849.44 against gross entitlement of £10,635.24.

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.
