Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 27 July 2023 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 without a hearing, and the hearing listed for 8 March 2024 was cancelled.
On the unauthorised deductions claim, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr L Thurlow's wages. It ordered the respondent to pay £2,509.62 gross to the claimant.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £1,119.22 for that breach. The total sum ordered against the respondent was £3,628.84.

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.
