Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response, and the tribunal was satisfied that the claim had been served at the respondent's registered office. Judgment was therefore issued under Rule 21, and the hearing was cancelled.
The claimant succeeded on three monetary claims. The tribunal found that the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 31 October 2019 to 4 December 2019 was well-founded and ordered payment of £2,000 gross. It also found that the breach of contract claim for notice pay was well-founded and ordered payment of £461.62 gross.
The tribunal further found that the claim for pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday was well-founded. It recorded that the claimant worked for the respondent for seven months, had accrued 16 days' holiday, and did not say that he had taken any holiday. It awarded £1,384.61 gross. In each instance, the tribunal directed that the claimant would be responsible for any tax or national insurance due.

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.
