Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Leach dealt with the case under Rule 21 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The judgment records that a determination could properly be made on the papers, and the hearing listed for 24 February 2023 was cancelled.
The Tribunal found that KA Empire Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,023.56 gross, calculated as 92.13 hours at £11.11 per hour. It also found a breach of contract in respect of driver's commission and ordered damages of £114.
The Tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's annual leave entitlement of 50.25 hours and ordered payment of £558.28 gross, calculated at £11.11 per hour. The judgment was sent to the parties on 20 January 2023; the accompanying interest notice stated that interest would accrue under the 1990 Order if sums remained unpaid after 14 days, using 20 January 2023 as the relevant decision day and 8% per annum as the stipulated rate.

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.
