Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 after the respondent did not present a response. The claim was first accepted against Stessa Leisure Ltd, but after clarification that Ms Nicola Kydd had worked in Stockton the title was amended to Stessa Leisure (Stockton) Ltd and the claim was served again. No response was received by the due date.
Employment Judge Garnon found that the available material, including the claim form and replies to orders for more details, was sufficient to determine liability and remedy on the balance of probability. The tribunal held that the claim for failure to pay compensation for untaken annual leave was well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £692.31 gross of tax and NI.
The tribunal also held that the claim of unlawful deduction of wages was well founded and ordered the respondent to repay £2,500 gross of tax and NI. The judgment recorded that no wrongful dismissal claim was pursued. The judgment identified Part 2 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as the law governing unlawful deduction of wages and the Working Time Regulations 1998 as the law governing compensation for untaken annual leave.

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.
