Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, James Sills, brought claims against Drink Me Dry Limited in the Leeds Employment Tribunal. The respondent did not attend the hearing on 11 November 2020. Employment Judge Maidment dealt with the matter on the papers and recorded that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £7,341.00 gross in respect of unpaid wages. It also ordered payment of £1,216.64 gross for accrued but untaken holiday entitlement as at the termination of employment. The judgment does not set out any separate liability reasoning beyond these awards.
The bottom-line monetary award recorded in the judgment is the sum of those two figures, £8,557.64 gross. No separate award for interest, injury to feelings, basic award, or compensatory award is recorded in the judgment.

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.
