Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which Regional Employment Judge Parkin recorded that the respondent, Bootroom Academies, had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. The tribunal ordered payment to Miss S Dooley of the gross sum of £11,666.67.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. Damages were awarded in the sum of £2,916.67, with the note to the judgment stating that the assessment was based on the claimant's gross pay for the notice period.
The claimant's sex discrimination claim was dismissed on withdrawal by her. The judgment does not set out any further reasons for the dismissal of that claim, and no separate compensation was awarded for it.
The bottom-line monetary awards recorded in the judgment therefore total £14,583.34, comprising the wages award and the breach of contract damages. The attached notice also states that the damages for breach of contract were treated as post-employment notice pay for tax and national insurance purposes.

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.
