Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hart sitting at London South (via CVP) on 16 October 2024 determined the claims of Mrs C Marsh against Thistle House Car Sales. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not attend. The tribunal upheld all five heads of claim on the evidence before it.
The claimant was found entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,233 net under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent was held to be in breach of contract for dismissing the claimant without paying her contractual notice (£2,150.40 net), and to have made unauthorised deductions from wages by failing to pay her February 2024 wages (£2,150.40 net) and by deducting pension contributions without remitting them to the pension scheme (£2,140.80 net). The respondent was also ordered to pay £298 net in respect of three days of accrued but unpaid holiday for the leave year leading up to dismissal.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the rules. The written judgment was sent to the parties on 17 October 2024.

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.
