Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Iman determined this rule 22 default judgment after the respondent (in voluntary liquidation) was barred from defending the claim following non-compliance with an Unless Order dated 2 May 2025. The ET3 was struck out and the respondent did not attend the hearing.
The Tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal in respect of notice pay, unlawful deduction of wages in respect of holiday pay, and direct disability discrimination. A 10% uplift was applied for failure to follow the ACAS Code, taking the total award to £26,046.90 (£23,679 + £2,367 ACAS uplift).
A legal costs application was not awarded; a separate costs application with specificity would need to be made. The judgment notes the respondent is responsible for deducting tax and National Insurance at source.

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.
