Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard in Liverpool on 11 October 2024 before Employment Judge Aspinall. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not appear. The tribunal dismissed the breach of contract claim because the claimant was not an employee at the termination of the engagement.
The tribunal upheld the claim for unauthorised deduction from wages, brought by the claimant as a worker under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that sums were due for four days' work on 23, 24, 25 and 26 July 2023 at the agreed rate of US$600 per day, together with 30 days' notice pay of US$18,000.
The monetary award was calculated by converting those amounts at the exchange rate in operation on 26 July 2023, resulting in a total award of £16,194. The written record also gave notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 that interest would be payable on the award if it was not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day, but no separate interest figure was set out in the judgment.

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.
