Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 20 July 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages.
On that basis, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £1,200 gross for unlawful deductions from wages. The judgment also records that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and the respondent was ordered to pay £300 gross in damages for that breach.
The total sum ordered was £1,500 gross. The hearing listed for 8 January 2024 was cancelled.

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.
