Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the claim under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Reed determined that a judgment could properly be made on the papers.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £320.00 gross in damages. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £388.00 gross.
The total award was £708.00 gross. The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for any sums owed to HMRC in respect of tax or national insurance contributions.

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.
