Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued on the available material after the Respondent failed to present a response and did not attend the hearing on 4 December 2023 at the East London Hearing Centre by Cloud Video Platform. Employment Judge Barrett sat alone.
The Tribunal found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the Claimant's wages and had breached the Claimant's contract of employment by failing to pay holiday entitlement outstanding at the time his employment terminated.
On calculation, the Claimant was entitled to 8 days' untaken holiday at a daily rate of £84, giving £672 in holiday pay. The Respondent had already paid £131, leaving a balance of £541, which the Respondent was ordered to pay.

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.
