Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBecause the respondent failed to present a valid response on time, the Employment Judge made a Rule 21 determination and disposed of the claim in the respondent's absence. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered £17,750 gross, comprising £5,250 for August 2021, £6,250 for September 2021 and £6,250 for October 2021.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,442.31 for one week's statutory notice. It further awarded £3,749.98 for unpaid holiday entitlement and £5,769.23 for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars, calculated as four weeks' salary. A 25% ACAS uplift was applied to the subtotal of £28,711.52, adding £7,177.88 and producing a total of £35,889.40 payable within 14 days. The attached interest notice stated that interest would be payable at 8% per annum if any part of the award remained unpaid after the relevant decision day.

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.
