Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at London Central via CVP before Employment Judge S Connolly on 27 April 2023, found five claims well founded in favour of Mr S Bulgakov against Berg Global Limited. The respondent did not attend. The judgment records two separate unlawful deduction from wages findings: £6,071.33 in relation to February 2023 wages and £440.28 in relation to pension contributions deducted during employment. In each instance the tribunal ordered payment of the gross sum deducted and stated that no deductions for tax or National Insurance should be made.
The tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well founded because the claimant was dismissed without notice, and awarded £12,142 as damages equivalent to 2 months' notice. In addition, it upheld a breach of contract claim concerning failure to reimburse business expenses and ordered payment of £1,714.18, again stating that no deductions for tax or National Insurance should be made. The holiday pay claim was also upheld, with £1,100 awarded as payment in lieu of 4 days' holiday accrued but untaken on termination.

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.
