Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge L Burge, sitting at London South by CVP on 25 August 2021, determined three claims arising from the employment relationship between R Finney and The Belleville Brewing Company Ltd. The tribunal found that the Respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the Claimant without full pay for the notice period to which he was entitled, and awarded damages of £905.
The tribunal also found a separate breach of contract for failure to pay the Claimant’s expenses, awarding damages of £624.36. In addition, it found that the Respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay full pay for the two-week period worked in June 2020, and ordered payment of £452 as the sum unlawfully deducted. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
