Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondents failed to file an ET3. Employment Judge Brown decided the claim could properly be determined without a hearing under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the basis of the ET1 and grounds of complaint.
The tribunal found that the respondents unlawfully failed to pay the claimant's wages in the sum of £1,615.00. It ordered the respondents to pay that sum and to account to HMRC for any tax and National Insurance due on it.
The tribunal also made an additional award of £745.38, described as two weeks' wages, under s38 Employment Act 2002. That award was made because the respondents were in breach of their duty under s1 Employment Rights Act 1996 to provide the claimant with a statement of employment particulars when the proceedings were begun. The hearing listed for 25 November 2022 was vacated.

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.
