Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands Employment Tribunals on 16 September 2022. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Victoria Butler decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On the claims determined in the default judgment, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. The tribunal ordered payment of £4,733.40 gross for unlawful deductions, £860.40 net for notice pay damages, and £860.40 gross for holiday entitlement. The listed hearing on 6 January 2023 was cancelled.

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.
