Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the claim under Rule 21 because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented by the respondent. On that basis, Employment Judge Holmes entered judgment on the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. It ordered the respondent to pay Mrs J Higham the gross sum of £1,220.80, calculated as 140 hours at £8.72 per hour, subject to the usual deductions for tax and national insurance if applicable.
The judgment also records that, although the claimant had ticked the box in her claim form, she made no claim for holiday pay. No separate holiday pay award was made.

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.
