Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in case 2407421/2023, with Employment Judge KM Ross signing the decision on 24 October 2023 and the written record sent to the parties on 27 October 2023. The tribunal recorded that Hollenbeck Holdings Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr J Harrison Hewitt's wages and ordered payment of £933.31 gross within 14 days.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £480.69 gross. The judgment states that this figure was calculated using gross pay because of the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.
A further breach of contract finding was made in respect of travel expenses, with damages of £30 ordered within 14 days. The total sum ordered by the judgment was £1,444.00.
The judgment included the standard notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 that, if the sums are not paid in full within 14 days after the written record was sent, interest would accrue from 28 October 2023 at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum.

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.
