Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the London South Employment Tribunal on 14 May 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure on the basis of the material available.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £4,653.09 gross. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,750, giving a total of £6,403.09.
The judgment records that the claim succeeds and notes that the remedy to which the claimant is entitled will be determined at a Remedy Hearing.

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.
