Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Anthony, sitting alone at London Central by CVP on 12 August 2024, heard the claims of Mark Parker against So Eco Limited. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The Tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded in respect of the period 1 January 2024 to 31 January 2024, and ordered the respondent to pay £1,153.80 gross. The Tribunal also found that 5 days of holiday pay at £115.38 per day had been unlawfully deducted, and ordered payment of £576.90 gross.
The Tribunal further found the complaints of breach of contract in relation to notice pay and in relation to fuel expenses and food allowance to be well-founded, ordering damages of £576.75 gross and £692.42 gross respectively. In each case the claimant was made responsible for any income tax or National Insurance payable to HMRC.
The judgment does not set out detailed reasoning beyond the findings that each complaint was well-founded, and no legal tests or authorities are cited on the face of the judgment. The figures recorded above are taken directly from the judgment.

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.
