Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure Rule 21. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £196.80 gross, subject to lawful deductions for tax and national insurance.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages for unlawful dismissal in the sum of £229.60 net. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, but listed that claim for a remedy hearing rather than setting an amount in this judgment.
The notice appended to the judgment stated that interest would apply under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if sums were not paid within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties, with a stipulated rate of 8%. No specific interest amount was awarded in the judgment.

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.
