Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningFollowing a remedy hearing at Croydon (via CVP) on 15 November 2024 before Employment Judge Leith, the Tribunal upheld the Claimant's complaint of harassment related to sex and her complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages. The Respondent was ordered to pay £2,502.48 on the harassment claim, comprising £2,000 for injury to feelings and £502.48 in interest, together with £280.90 as the net sum unlawfully deducted from wages.
The interest figure was corrected after the hearing following correspondence from the Respondent identifying a computational error in the figure given orally. The written judgment records that interest was calculated over an accrual period of 1,142 days (30 September 2021 to 15 November 2024) at a daily rate of 44p, being 8% of £2,000 divided by 365.
The remaining complaints of unfair dismissal, redundancy payment, breach of contract, and failure to pay for accrued but untaken annual leave failed and were dismissed. Written reasons were not provided, the reasons having been given orally at the 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.
