Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was entered under Rules 21 and 60 after the respondent did not present a response to claim number 2420013/2020 and admitted in its response to claim number 2401602/2021 that it owed unpaid notice pay, a statutory redundancy payment and holiday pay.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages by not paying wages at 80% of normal pay from 1 September 2020 to 9 November 2020, and by failing to pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement. It also found that the respondent was in breach of contract by not paying the claimant at 100% of normal pay during her 12-week notice period.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment. A separate complaint about deduction of employee pension contributions not paid to the pension scheme was left to be decided at a final hearing because there was a time limit issue to consider.

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.
