Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt London South on 2 February 2021, Employment Judge Beckett sat alone in a Rule 21 judgment. The respondent, ZEDfactory Europe Limited (in liquidation), entered no response, although former director Susan Dunster attended. The tribunal found that the respondent unfairly dismissed Mr L Chauhan and awarded him £9,252.25 in compensation, consisting of a basic award of £3,675.00 and a compensatory award of £5,577.25.
The compensatory award was made up of loss of past earnings of £11,883.30, loss of statutory rights of £300, unpaid expenses of £693.00, unpaid NEST pension contributions of £447.07, and reasonable expenses in seeking new employment, namely course and assessment fees of £555, with payments already made of £8,808.14 deducted and a 10% ACAS uplift applied. The written record states that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The tribunal also found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from Mr Chauhan's wages and ordered the respondent to pay £13,416.71. The judgment states that recoupment does not apply to that award.

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.
