Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at East London Hearing Centre before District Judge Ross (sitting as an Employment Judge) on 17 September 2025, heard the Claimant Mr Joe Normington in person; the Respondent did not attend. The Tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages was well-founded in respect of £250 deducted in January 2025 and £250 deducted in February 2025, and ordered the Respondent to pay the gross sum of £500.
The Tribunal also found the breach of contract complaint relating to notice pay to be well-founded and ordered the Respondent to pay £4,104.07, calculated on the basis of the Claimant's net pay at the date of dismissal. The complaint in respect of holiday pay was likewise well-founded, the Tribunal finding the Respondent in breach of contract by failing to pay the Claimant for holiday accrued but untaken on the date employment ended, with £2,907.63 awarded.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the standard 14-day window. No unfair dismissal or Working Time Regulations claim is adjudicated within the text of this judgment, despite the gov.uk listing categories.

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.
