Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 22 December 2022 and determined under Rule 21 because the respondent submitted a response but did not contest it. On that basis, the Employment Judge made a determination without a hearing and the listed hearing on 21 April 2023 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £78.75 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £2,542.68. In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £3,804.97.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £189.76. The judgment records a total sum payable of £6,616.16.

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.
