Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance. Employment Judge Joffe therefore determined the claim on the papers under rule 21 without a hearing, and the hearing listed for 15 October 2019 was vacated. The judgment records that the tribunal considered the ET1 and was able to determine the claim without attendance.
The tribunal found that the respondent unlawfully failed to pay wages to the claimant and was in breach of the claimant’s contract in failing to pay notice pay. It ordered the respondent to pay £1,606.72 net for wages, described as the sum due less £2,000 already paid by the respondent, and £2,219.52 net in damages for failure to pay notice pay.
The tribunal also ordered payment of £693.60 net for accrued holiday pay under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1999. It further ordered the respondent to account to HMRC for tax due on the sums awarded. The bottom-line monetary award on the face of the judgment is £4,519.84 net.

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.
