Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss A Lipinska's claim was determined on the papers under rule 21 after All Seasons Trade Ltd failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal therefore made a determination it could properly make on the claim and proceeded to award sums on each head of claim. The judgment also records that the hearing listed for 18 August 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages for July 2021 (£586.74), August 2021 (£899.04) and September 2021 (£899.04), and ordered payment of £2,384.85 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of 7 weeks' notice and awarded damages of £6,384.62 gross.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £5,984.00 gross, calculated using the statutory redundancy pay calculation with the government cap of £544.00 per week for 11 completed years of service. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and awarded £4,846.15 gross. The total award was £19,599.62, and the claimant was responsible for any tax or national insurance payable to HMRC.

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.
