The Tribunal found unauthorised deductions of £2,930.46, dismissal in breach of contract in respect of notice (£3,246.16 for four weeks' notice), entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment of £3,858 (claimant aged 49 with four years' service), and unpaid holiday entitlement of £1,281.20.

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.
