Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the Respondent did not attend the video hearing on 21 March 2025. It found that the Claimant, Mr P Brown, had suffered unauthorised deductions from wages in several respects and that the Respondent, Ikigai Tech 2 Limited (formerly known as Mindweaver), was liable to pay the sums ordered.
On wages, the tribunal found an unauthorised deduction for December 2023 because the Claimant was paid £20 less than was due, and further deductions because his full net pay of £1,965.20 was not paid in either January or February 2024. The tribunal ordered payment of £3,950.40 for that unlawful deduction claim.
The tribunal also found unauthorised deductions in relation to pension deductions of £79.20 in both January and February 2024, and ordered payment of £158.40. It further found that the Respondent breached contract by dismissing the Claimant without notice and awarded £1,807.08 in damages for that breach.
Finally, the tribunal found an unauthorised deduction from wages because the Respondent did not pay the Claimant in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave on termination of employment. It ordered payment of £709.62. The total ordered by the judgment was £6,625.50.

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.
