Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. For Mr R King, the tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages made up of unpaid basic wage for August to October 2023 and unpaid commission for August to October 2023, less a payment of £1,389.15 received on 10 October 2023. The gross award on that claim was £10,506.11.
The tribunal also found that Mr King was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,500.00 gross in damages. It further found that he was dismissed by reason of redundancy and entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,929.00. No award was made for holiday pay because the claim had not been quantified. The judgment recorded a total payable to Mr King of £13,935.11.
For Ms Stuart-Yildirim, the tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages consisting of unpaid basic wage for September to October 2023 and unpaid commission for October 2023, less a payment of £1,381.45 received in September 2023. The gross award on that claim was £2,029.32. The written record also included a notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 stating that the relevant decision day was 4 October 2024, the calculation day was 5 October 2024, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% per annum.

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.
