Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge Buzzard at Manchester (by video) on 19 June 2025. The respondent did not appear. The claimant's application to strike out the respondent's defence was found to be well founded and succeeded, and the claimant's claims were all determined to be well founded.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £768.61 for unlawful deduction from wages covering the shortfall between 8 April 2024 and 1 May 2024. It found that the claimant had been victimised by dismissal contrary to section 27 of the Equality Act 2010, awarding £1,017.83 for lost wages (19 days at £53.57 per day) and £5,000 for injury to feelings.
The tribunal further found that when proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide a written statement of employment particulars, with no exceptional circumstances making the minimum award unjust or inequitable. Under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 it awarded the equivalent of two weeks' gross pay (£750). The recoupment provisions were stated not to apply to any part of the judgment.

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.
