Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Phil Allen on 23 May 2024 and sent to the parties on 10 June 2024. The tribunal made determinations on four heads of claim brought by Mr D Slatford against Scratch Repair Company Limited without recording detailed reasons, as is typical for a Rule 21 default-style judgment.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £2,500.00 gross. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, ordering £2,307.68 equivalent to twenty days/four weeks. The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,730.76, and that he had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, with damages of £1,153.84 ordered.
The judgment also attached the standard notice under Article 12 of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, setting the relevant decision day as 10 June 2024, the calculation day as 11 June 2024, and the stipulated rate of interest at 8% per annum.

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.
