Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 08 December 2022 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. There were no contested findings recorded in the extracted judgment beyond the default judgment process.
The tribunal held that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages for 2 weeks and ordered payment of £1,538.46 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and awarded £7,805.58 net damages calculated by reference to monthly net income of £2,601.86 over 3 months.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement of 44.33 days at the rate of £153.84 per day and ordered payment of £6,819.72 gross. The total sum awarded was £16,163.76.

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.
