Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal revoked its earlier decision rejecting the respondent’s response and accepted the response. It then recorded that the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed upon withdrawal, so no substantive unfair dismissal finding was made on the merits.
On the remaining claims, the tribunal found that Mr Brown had been wrongfully dismissed on 9 June 2020 and awarded him one month’s notice pay of £2,411.72, net of statutory deductions. It also found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages at 80% of wages for the period from 1 May 2020 to 9 June 2020, awarding £3,285.52 gross of statutory deductions.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of terms and conditions compliant with s.1 Employment Rights Act 1996. Under s.38 Employment Act 2002, it increased the award by the higher amount of four weeks’ pay, quantified at £2,152. The total payable under the judgment was £7,849.24.

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.
