Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMultiple claim involving three claimants against Lionshare Group Limited, joined under multiple 2201724. The respondent did not submit an ET3 in time and made no application for an extension. As a result, Employment Tribunal Rule 22 applied and judgment was entered without a substantive hearing of the merits. This response covers only the lead case (2202148/2025, the First Claimant); separate decision IDs cover the Second and Third Claimants.
In respect of the First Claimant, the tribunal upheld: (i) failure to pay statutory redundancy payment, awarding £1,682.89; (ii) unauthorised deductions from wages (£2,083.33 for underpayment relative to the contractual £35,000 p/a rate from March 2022 to December 2024, plus £1,150.68 for unpaid wages 25 December 2024 to 6 January 2025); (iii) breach of contract in relation to notice pay (£2,916.67 damages); and (iv) breach of contract in relation to reimbursement of expenses (£1,085.15 net). The holiday pay complaint was dismissed on withdrawal.
The total sum the respondent must pay to the First Claimant is £8,918.72. The Second and Third Claimants each separately received £2,051.82 (covered under their own case references and not aggregated into this judgment's total).

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.
