Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Respondent failed to enter a response to the claim and did not attend or participate in the hearing. Employment Judge Ferguson, sitting alone, gave judgment for the Claimant.
The Tribunal found that the Claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, was unfairly dismissed, had unauthorised deductions made from wages, and was not paid holiday entitlement. It ordered payments of £6,200 for notice damages, £5,175.74 as the unfair dismissal compensatory award, £5,520 for unauthorised deductions from wages, and £500 for holiday pay.
The total award was recorded as £17,395.74. For recoupment purposes, the prescribed period was 10 December 2020 to 27 March 2023, the prescribed element was £5,175.74, and the balance was £12,220.

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.
