Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which the respondent, Bespoke Patterns Ltd, had not entered a response and did not attend the hearing, despite being notified. The claim was heard at Manchester via CVP on 5 August 2021 before Employment Judge Serr.
The tribunal found that the claimant, Mr Joel Nekooie, had suffered an unlawful deduction of wages in the sum of £827.85. It also found that he had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £410 on that claim.
In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £58. The total sum awarded was £1,295.25, payable gross without deduction for tax. The judgment also states that the recoupment provisions do not apply.

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.
