Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Hawkins presented his claim in the London South Employment Tribunal on 31 December 2025. Centurion Warranties Ltd (Mr Geoff Baker) failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Heath decided that a determination could properly be made of the claim, or part of it, under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr Hawkins’s wages and ordered payment of £866.67 gross. It also found that he was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £6,000 in damages. His dismissal was by reason of redundancy, entitling him to a redundancy payment of £2,769.24. The respondent had failed to pay his holiday entitlement and was ordered to pay £830.79. The total award was £10,466.70.

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.
