Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under rule 21 because the respondent had failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Phil Allen determined the claim on the papers and made findings in the claimant's favour on each head of claim addressed in the judgment.
The tribunal held that Abbey Grange Care Home Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Miss L Burrows's wages and ordered payment of £822.12. The judgment states that this sum included sick pay not paid to the claimant. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £2,135.92 for that breach.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £783.62. The written decision also records the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 notice, stating that interest would be payable if the sums remained unpaid after 14 days from the relevant decision day, but the judgment itself does not quantify any interest award.

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.
