Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge determined the claim on the papers and made awards without a contested hearing. The judgment records that the claimant, Mr C Hales, brought claims against Pat Heard Garage Services Ltd in the London South Employment Tribunals.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £519 net. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and awarded £1,557 in damages for that breach.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,614. Separately, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £2,314.04.
The judgment states that the respondent must pay the claimant £6,004.04 in total. It also records 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.
