Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 and cancelled the hearing listed for 14 November 2019. It found that Prosperous Life Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr A Ralph's wages and ordered it to pay £2,045.23 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded £409.05, recording that this was a net sum but was based on gross pay because the amount was likely to be taxed on receipt as Post Employment Notice Pay.
In addition, the tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £220.89. It made no award for emotional distress because it said it had no power to make such an award in relation to the claims brought.
The judgment was sent on 12 November 2019. The attached interest notice states that interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 would run from 13 November 2019 at the stipulated rate of 8% if the sums remained unpaid after 14 days, but the judgment itself does not set out any calculated interest figure.

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.
