Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent, We Are LearnBox Limited, failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim, or part of it, under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On the wages claim, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for March 2022. It ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £1,621.43 net.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract because it had failed to reimburse petrol expenses incurred by the claimant. It ordered payment of £46.35 for that claim.
The judgment also contains a notice about interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that interest is payable if the award is not paid within 14 days after the relevant decision day of 18 November 2022. No separate interest sum 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.
