Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum of £428.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded damages of £1,284, calculated as three weeks at £428 per week.
In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,498, calculated as 3.5 weeks at £428 per week. The judgment noted that, for the purposes of the Secretary of State and payment from the Insolvency Fund, section 166 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 applied to that specific 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.
