Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, proceeding under Rule 21, found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 1-18 September 2019. It ordered payment of £1,380.78 gross on that claim.
It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £2,692.30. The judgment explains that this was a net sum calculated from gross pay because it was likely to be taxed as Post Employment Notice Pay.
On redundancy, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £2,625. The holiday pay complaint was dismissed after the claimant withdrew it. The unfair dismissal claim was found to be well founded, but the remedy was left to a Remedy Hearing if the claimant sought compensation.

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.
