Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMultiple-claimant rule 22 default judgment by Employment Judge Phil Allen against Hotel Managers Limited following the respondent's failure to file a valid response. The lead claimant on this case reference is L Sergeant, who was awarded a total of £9,046.14 comprising unauthorised deductions from wages (£5,400), notice pay damages (£1,800), a statutory redundancy payment (£1,246.14) and holiday pay (£600). The unfair dismissal complaint was well-founded but no basic award was made because it had been extinguished by the redundancy payment.
The judgment also makes separate awards to four other claimants attached to the same judgment under different case numbers: D Hollingworth Carr (£5,412.16 wages + £2,733.77 holiday pay), T Kim (£4,600 wages), R Caton Jones (£1,309.88 wages) and M Li (£1,446.60 wages). All sums are gross; claimants may need to satisfy any tax burdens individually.
Reasons beyond the rule 22 calculations were not provided.

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.
