Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was held by CVP at London South Tribunal on 10 November 2025 before Employment Judge Richter. The Respondent, Q2 Signature Group Ltd, did not attend and was not represented; the tribunal recorded that the claim had been served on the registered offices and business address, that notice of the hearing had been sent, and that the Claimants had had no reply to repeated attempts to make contact. Evidence was taken from the Claimants in person.
For each of Mr Joe Lennon, Mr Samuel Palmer, Mr George Thomas and Miss Maddison Pegg, the tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 1 June 2024 to 30 June 2024 well-founded, and the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay well-founded. Notice pay damages were calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood the sums would be taxed as Post Employment Notice Pay. Mr Lennon was additionally awarded £650 to compensate for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction, and Mr Palmer was determined to be entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,040 under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Ms Mia Stageman was originally listed as a claimant in the multiple but has since submitted her own ET1 (tribunal reference 2306121/2024). She did not attend the hearing and her complaint in this multiple was stayed pending clarification of whether the claim is pursued. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will only be provided on request within 14 days.

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.
