Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJ Mclaughlin Group Ltd did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records awards against the first respondent only.
The tribunal found that the first respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr S Farooq's wages and ordered payment of £870.52 gross. It also found that he had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £444.84, and had breached the contract by failing to reimburse expenses incurred, awarding £90.61.
The tribunal further found that the first respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £533.80. The awards total £1,939.77. A separate notice explained the tribunal's interest arrangements, including that interest would run from 23 December 2022 if the sums remained unpaid, but no quantified interest figure is set out in the judgment itself.

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.
