Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 23 August 2022 and determined under rule 21 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Adkinson decided the claim, or part of it, could properly be determined without a hearing and cancelled future hearings.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. It ordered The Staffing Network Ltd to pay Mr S Bidwell £563.98 gross in respect of that claim.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It ordered the respondent to pay damages of £1,708.40 gross for that claim. The total monetary award recorded in the judgment is £2,272.38 gross.

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.
