Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered judgment under Rule 21 because the time for presenting a response had expired and the respondent had not presented a valid response within the prescribed time limit. It found the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded and recorded that the respondent had unlawfully deducted payments due for the period between 7 January 2019 and 14 March 2019.
The judgment set out wages due of £461.54 for 7 January to 14 January 2019, £2,000.00 for 15 January to 14 February 2019, and £2,000.00 for 15 February to 14 March 2019, making £4,462.00 due in total. Against that, it recorded payments of £2,000.00 on 15 February 2019 and £448.00 on 11 March 2019, leaving £2,448.00 unpaid, which the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay as a gross sum.
The tribunal also found the claimant's complaint of failure to pay an amount due under regulation 14(2) or regulation 16(1) of the Working Time Regulations 1998 well-founded. It awarded £328.76 gross in respect of 5 days' untaken but accrued holiday, calculated at a daily rate of £66.75. The judgment noted that the hearing listed for 12 August 2019 was cancelled.

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.
