Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21/22 default judgment issued by Employment Judge Maidment on 11 June 2025 in respect of Mr B Mathai's claims against Flamelily Care Ltd. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £4,007.60 gross, and that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, with damages of £427.50 gross awarded.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, ordering payment of £1,636.50 gross. In addition, pursuant to section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, the respondent was ordered to pay a further £1,710 (equivalent to four weeks' pay) for failure to provide a written statement of particulars of employment.
The judgment is short-form and does not set out detailed reasoning, legal tests, or findings of fact beyond the orders themselves; it appears to have been issued under the Rule 21/22 default procedure following the respondent's failure to present a response.

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.
