Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Ms Y Hetherington presented her ET1 on 20 September 2021. The tribunal sent the claim to Inn Trade Solutions Limited on 24 September 2021 and the respondent did not file a response by the deadline of 25 October 2021.

Because no response was received, the tribunal entered a Rule 21 judgment on the material supplied by the claimant and without a hearing. It found the claim for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 well-founded and awarded £433.58 gross.

The tribunal also found the claim for holiday pay under Regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 well-founded and awarded £192.26 gross. The total award was £625.84 gross, with the reasons noting that tax and national insurance would be payable by the claimant on the gross sums.

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.
