Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which Employment Judge Slater determined part of the claim on the papers. The tribunal found that Platters UK Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £200 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £600 in damages. The judgment records that this was a net sum, but it was based on the claimant’s gross pay because the tribunal considered that tax would likely be payable on receipt as Post Employment Notice Pay.
In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £900. The complaints about unpaid holiday pay and unfair dismissal were not decided in this judgment; the tribunal said they would be determined at a final hearing or by a further Rule 21 judgment if not withdrawn, and the hearing listed for 13 December 2021 was postponed and to be relisted if required.

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.
