Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Holmes made a decision without a hearing and found that SO Eco Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr S Richards' wages.
The only monetary award recorded in the judgment was a gross sum of £6,435.00 payable to the claimant. The judgment states that this is a gross sum and that Mr Richards is responsible for accounting to HMRC for any tax and national insurance due on it.
The listed hearing on 8 August 2024 was cancelled. The attached interest notice explains the tribunal's standard interest arrangements and gives the relevant decision day as 27 June 2024, but the judgment itself does not state any separate interest award amount.

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.
