Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 22 February 2022 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, and future hearings were cancelled.
The tribunal upheld each of the substantive claims recorded in the judgment. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £2,180.51 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £5,220 in damages.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £15,660. In addition, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,276. The total monetary award recorded in the judgment is £24,336.51.

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.
