Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Swann Date therefore decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a response from the respondent.
The judgment records that the claim succeeds. It does not set out separate merits findings or a split remedy, and it states that the claimant's entitlement will be determined at a Remedy Hearing. The hearing listed for 25 May 2023 was cancelled.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Breach of contract | The judgment does not break out individual findings for this claim type; it records only that the claim succeeds under rule 21 and that remedy will be determined at a later Remedy Hearing. The extracted text also gives the claim-issue date as 27/11/2023, which appears inconsistent with the judgment date of 17/5/2023. | Upheld | — | — |
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The judgment does not break out individual findings for this claim type; it records only that the claim succeeds under rule 21 and that remedy will be determined at a later Remedy Hearing. The extracted text also gives the claim-issue date as 27/11/2023, which appears inconsistent with the judgment date of 17/5/2023. | Upheld | — | — |
| Working time regulations | The judgment does not break out individual findings for this claim type; it records only that the claim succeeds under rule 21 and that remedy will be determined at a later Remedy Hearing.

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.
