Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningHearing at London Central by CVP. The respondent was not present or represented. The Employment Judge dismissed the statutory redundancy payment claim upon withdrawal and upheld three further claims.
The unauthorised deductions from wages claim (July to October 2024) was upheld for £17,800 gross. The unfair dismissal claim was upheld with a basic award of £5,250 and a compensatory award of £52,000. In assessing the compensatory award the tribunal excluded losses already compensated by the awards for unauthorised deductions and holiday pay so as to avoid double recovery. The Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 apply: the prescribed element is £13,385 (period 26 November 2024 to 5 January 2026); the difference between the total monetary award (£57,250) and the prescribed element is £43,865, payable immediately to the claimant.
The holiday pay claim was upheld in the gross sum of £1,800 under regulation 14(2) and/or 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. Combined awards across all upheld claims total £76,850 gross.

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.
