Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued judgment under Rule 21 after the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented by the respondent. On that basis, it determined the claim on the papers and found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages, that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the dismissal was by reason of redundancy, and that holiday entitlement had not been paid.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £317.68 for the unlawful deduction from wages, £1,270.00 in damages for breach of contract, £317.68 as a redundancy payment, and £611.53 for unpaid holiday entitlement. The judgment stated that the gross sums under the first, second and fourth heads were to be paid subject to any appropriate deductions for tax and national insurance, which the respondent had to account for to HMRC.

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.
