Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge T Brown sat alone by Cloud Video Platform on 25 August 2021. The tribunal dismissed Mr P Hudson's unfair dismissal complaint because he did not have two years' employment at the date his employment ended.
The tribunal declared that Hales Freight Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from wages in the gross amount of £3,071 and ordered repayment of that sum before deductions for tax and National Insurance. It also declared that the claimant had been constructively dismissed.
On the contractual element, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay one month's notice pay and awarded damages of £333.33 before deductions for tax and National Insurance. The PDF renders this figure as '£3,33.33'; the amount has been treated as £333.33 from the context and the Layer 1 extraction. The respondent's employer's contract claim was found not well-founded and dismissed. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment total £3,404.33.

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.
