Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands East Region of the Employment Tribunals on 5 May 2022. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a contested hearing. The hearing listed for 27 October 2022 was cancelled.
On the substance, the tribunal found that Boston Active Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Mr K Lea's wages and ordered it to pay £465.54 gross. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay Mr Lea's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £175.97 gross. The judgment records a total payable sum of £641.52.
The individual figures stated in the judgment add to £641.51 rather than £641.52, so the total appears to differ by 1p from the component amounts set out in paragraphs 2 and 3. The judgment does not record any separate injury to feelings, interest, or other compensatory award.

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.
