Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment because the respondent had filed no response. On that basis, and in the absence of any response from Build Assist Limited, the tribunal determined the claim on the papers and cancelled the hearing listed for 17 January 2022.
It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr Barlow's wages and ordered payment of £2,891.18 gross. It also found that he was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £1,092.65 gross damages for that claim.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £872.43 gross. The total monetary award set out in the judgment is £4,856.26. The accompanying notice explained the standard tribunal interest provisions and stated the relevant decision day as 12 November 2021, but no separate interest figure was included in the judgment itself.

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.
