Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hutchinson sat alone and heard the case by Cloud Video Platform on 21 October 2022. The respondent did not appear. The written judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing, with no further written reasons provided.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £898.40 gross. It also upheld the claim for breach of contract in respect of notice, finding that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract and awarding damages of £1,315.40.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,366.55. A separate finding was made that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, with £66.83 ordered in respect of that entitlement.
The judgment does not set out any discrimination, unfair dismissal, or whistleblowing claims. On the face of the order, the financial awards total £4,647.18.

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.
