Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response within the stipulated time, and the tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On the pleaded wages issue, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and entered judgment for the claimant in the sum of £148 for outstanding wages.
The tribunal did not give judgment on the claimant's complaint about failure to provide a statement or terms and conditions because that matter was not within the claim form. It also dealt with preparation time separately: the claimant sought 12 hours, but the tribunal found that excessive in view of the limited issues and limited detail in the claim form and assessed two hours as appropriate, awarding £78 for that preparation time.

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.
