Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented on 24 March 2023. The First Respondent did not file a valid response and later went into compulsory liquidation on 4 October 2023, so the claim against it was automatically stayed. The Second Respondent was served on 4 December 2023, did not file a valid response within time, and no application for an extension of time was made. The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the Claimant was employed by the Second Respondent from 26 October 2022 to 23 January 2023. It held that the Claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded in respect of £5,749.05.
The Second Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant damages of £5,749.05 gross. The judgment also records that the Claimant must account to HMRC for any payment received under the judgment. The claim against the First Respondent was unaffected by 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.
