Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge T.R. Smith heard the case on 16 September 2024 at Newcastle Civil and Family Courts and Tribunal Centre via CVP. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent, which is in creditors voluntary liquidation and had not filed a response, was represented by Mr. Little of Begbies (the liquidator), who noted that the respondent had no assets. The judgment was made on the claimant's affirmed evidence.
The tribunal found the claimant's breach of contract complaint well-founded in relation to non-payment of one month's notice and ordered damages of £1,581.58. The unlawful deduction from wages complaint was also well-founded, with the tribunal declaring deductions totalling £1,817.74, comprising a national minimum wage shortfall of £1,421, £381.75 for the period 30 October to 3 November 2023, and £14.99 in expenses incurred between 23 and 31 October 2023.
The tribunal further found that the claimant's complaint of automatic unfair dismissal contrary to section 104(1)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded and ordered a compensatory award of £1,527, the claimant not being entitled to a basic award. Oral reasons were given at the hearing and written reasons were not provided in this record.

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.
