Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the London South Employment Tribunals on 06 April 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal found that Food for Friends Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £1,589.00 gross.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £628.57 gross. The total sum payable to the claimant was £2,217.57. The judgment also recorded that the claimant is responsible for any figures 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.
