Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld the claimant’s claim for unlawful deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £2,952.72 net, being the sum calculated as wages owing. It also upheld the claimant’s claim for payment in lieu of holiday accrued but not taken at the date of dismissal and ordered payment of £364.70 net.
The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim succeeded. The tribunal found that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy and stated that the Polkey principle applied to the dismissal to the extent of 100%. The remedy recorded for the unfair dismissal claim was £500 for loss of statutory rights.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £731.06. The total amount awarded was £4,548.48, and the recoupment provisions did not apply to any part of the 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.
