Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was determined under rule 21 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the Employment Judge made a determination on the papers. The judgment records that Sandro Lopes Architecture and Design Ltd made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages, and orders payment of £3,461.58 gross for the period 13 April 2022 to 14 June 2022, calculated by reference to an annual salary of £20,000 and weekly pay of £384.62.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It ordered damages of £384.62 gross, being one week's statutory notice pay at the weekly rate identified in the judgment. In addition, the tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, but it did not quantify that element in the judgment and stated that the remedy for holiday pay would be determined at a remedy hearing.
The judgment includes the standard Employment Tribunals interest notice, which states the relevant decision day as 23 January 2023, the calculation day as 24 January 2023, and the stipulated rate of interest as 8% per annum. No separate interest amount is assessed in the judgment itself. The total sum specifically ordered in the judgment is £3,846.20 gross, excluding any future award on the holiday pay claim.

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.
