Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge McCarthy, sitting alone, heard the case on 5 May 2023. The tribunal found that Evolve Digital UK Ltd had failed to pay Mr N Goodwin his salary for December 2022. That failure was an unauthorised deduction from wages, and the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £1,833.33, described as the gross sum due.
The tribunal also found that the respondent dismissed the claimant without giving him notice. That was treated as a breach of contract, and the tribunal awarded £846.15 in damages, again expressed as a gross figure. The judgment noted that the award was for net loss but had been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on post-employment notice pay.
A separate notice recorded the tribunal's interest information under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990. It stated that if the award remained unpaid after 16 May 2023, interest would accrue from 17 May 2023 at 8% per annum, but the judgment did not quantify any interest sum.

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.
