Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not attend and no appearance was entered. The tribunal found that the claimant had suffered an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £580 gross. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £580 damages.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed, after allowing her application to amend to include that complaint, and awarded a basic award of £1,472.30. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £85 gross.
The sex discrimination claim was not finally determined on the merits in this judgment. The tribunal directed that, unless the claimant wrote by 28 February 2020 confirming that she wished to pursue it, that claim would stand dismissed as at that date without the need for any further application, order, or 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. See full methodology.
