Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge decided a determination could properly be made on the papers under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's monetary claims. It found unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £400 net. It also found the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,200 in damages.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,299.50. It also found that the respondent had not paid the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered £1,696.52. The total award was £5,596.02, and the judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any payments owed to HMRC in respect of tax or national insurance contributions.

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.
