Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent presented no defence. After hearing evidence from the claimant and considering his documentary evidence, Employment Judge Buzzard found the claimant's claims for unpaid wages, notice pay, expenses, commission, and untaken holiday pay well founded. The tribunal ordered payment of £1,935 for unpaid wages for 1 to 25 October 2019, £2,500 for one month's notice, £246 for expenses, £150 for commission, and £981 for 8.5 days' holiday pay.
The separate claim that the respondent failed to provide payslips was dismissed because it was not pursued at the hearing. The written decision also includes the standard notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that interest may accrue if sums are not paid within 14 days after the written judgment is sent, but the judgment itself does not quantify any interest award.

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.
