Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hopton heard the case by video at London Central on 23 September 2024. The claimant represented himself; the respondent did not attend. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint on jurisdictional grounds because the claimant had less than two years' service.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 3-29 January 2024 and ordered the respondent to pay £1,501.50 gross. The breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay was also well-founded, with £520 awarded as damages calculated on gross pay. The claimant was made responsible for any tax and National Insurance on both sums.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to provide any written itemised pay statements as required by section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and had made unnotified deductions totalling £192.28 in the 13 weeks prior to presentation of the claim form, which the respondent was ordered to pay. The total sum payable was £2,213.78.

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.
