Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the tribunal determined liability under rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure. The claimant, Mr G Williams, gave evidence at the same hearing on remedy. The tribunal upheld the claim described in the judgment as unfair (constructive) dismissal and awarded a basic award of £2,880 and a compensatory award of £5,817.17 net.
The tribunal also declared that the claimant was entitled to payment in lieu of notice as a contractual debt and ordered £1,440 gross. It found that holiday entitlement had not been paid and ordered £1,196.80 gross. It further found unauthorised deductions from wages and/or breach of contract in relation to employee pension contributions deducted but not paid into the pension scheme, and ordered £710.40 gross.
A separate breach of contract claim for failure to make employer pension contributions was also upheld, with £576 gross ordered. The tribunal recorded that the Employment Protection (Recoupment of Benefits) Regulations 1996 did not apply.

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.
