Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Justin Allen, brought claims for unpaid wages, unpaid holiday pay and unpaid notice pay. The respondent, HQBS Limited, did not attend the hearing. In its response it admitted failing to pay the claimant's wages and holiday pay, but challenged the claimant's calculation of commission entitlement.
At the hearing, the claimant gave evidence on oath and confirmed the figures set out in his claim form. The tribunal recorded unpaid pension contributions of £387.60, unpaid wages and holiday pay of £4,053.63, unpaid commission of £6,468.00, and unpaid notice pay of £632.39. The judge was satisfied that those sums were due from the respondent.
The tribunal held that the complaint of unlawful deduction from wages was well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay £10,909.23 as net wages unlawfully deducted. It also held that the claim for breach of contract, arising from failure to pay notice pay, was well-founded and ordered £632.39 in compensation for one week's net pay.
The total amount ordered payable by the respondent was £11,541.62.

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.
