Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claim, and Employment Judge B Beyzade decided the case on the available material under Rule 21. The respondent did not attend or appear. On that basis, the Tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £18,083.35 gross, being £27,083.35 less the £9,000 payment on account already received.
The Tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £16,250.01 in damages, subject to any required deductions for tax and national insurance if remitted by the respondent. The claimant's complaint about holiday pay had been withdrawn and was dismissed under Rule 52. The total monetary award recorded in the judgment was £34,333.36.

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.
