Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages.
The tribunal ordered the respondent, State Fayre Limited, to pay the claimant, Miss V Fernandez-Soriano, the gross sum of £186.39. The written record also included the standard interest notice: the relevant decision day was 29 September 2023, the calculation day was 30 September 2023, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% per annum if any award remained unpaid after the 14-day period.

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.
