Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in default of a response. Neither party attended the hearing, no response had been presented, and Employment Judge E Fowell determined the value of the claim from the material in the claim form. The tribunal treated the matter as an unlawful deduction from wages claim for the period 1 March to 10 May 2023.
The tribunal found that the claimant's gross monthly salary was £4,583.00, equivalent to £1,057.62 per week or £211.52 per working day. It found that no salary was paid for March 2023, so £4,583.00 was due for that month.
For April 2023, the tribunal found that 15% of salary had been paid and that the balance due at 85% was £3,895.55. For May 2023, the tribunal found that the last day of employment was 10 May and that 8 normal working days were worked, producing £1,692.18 due for that period.
The tribunal therefore awarded a total of £10,170.73 for unlawful deduction from wages. It also noted, applying Walters t/a Rosewood v Barik UKEAT/0053/16/BA, that the award is a gross amount that the respondent may satisfy by paying the net sum to the claimant and any required tax and national insurance to HMRC.

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.
