Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal found that the claimant was paid £380 net per week, equivalent to £480 gross per week.

It found that the claimant suffered an unlawful deduction from wages because the respondent failed to pay him for work undertaken during the last week of his employment. It awarded £480 gross for that deduction.

It also found that the claimant was wrongfully dismissed because he was summarily dismissed in circumstances where he was entitled to one week's notice. It awarded £480 gross as damages for wrongful dismissal, making a total award of £960.

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.
