Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a default judgment under rule 21 because the respondent did not present a response. Sitting alone and considering the matter on the papers on 4 May 2020, Employment Judge Adkinson made findings only on the unpaid wages and holiday pay claims recorded in the judgment.
The tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's wages and awarded £1,373.90 gross for that claim. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday pay and awarded £668.21 gross for that claim.
The hearing listed for 3 July 2020 was vacated. No separate award for dismissal or any other head of loss is recorded in the judgment text.

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.
