Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent did not attend and the claimant relied on written representations. Employment Judge Wright found that Fourshore (Hot) Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from wages in February and March 2019 and ordered payment of £3,045.00 gross, calculated from the gross and net monthly figures in the ET1.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded four weeks' notice pay of £1,872.00 gross. It recorded that no claim for holiday entitlement had been set out.
In addition, the judgment ordered reimbursement of expenses of £495.00, ten weeks' pension contributions of £640.00, £3,324.00 representing 90% of salary for six weeks in lieu of maternity pay, and £234.00 for bank charges pursuant to s.24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The total gross sum awarded was £9,610.00, and the claimant was to account to HMRC. The judgment also dismissed 'Roquebrook' and 'Simon Blakebrough' as respondents to the proceedings.

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.
