Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard at East London Hearing Centre via CVP on 19 February 2024 before Employment Judge B Beyzade. The claimant, Mr Andrew Thompson, appeared in person; the respondent, Mr Timothy James, was neither present nor represented. The tribunal issued judgment on three complaints arising from the termination of the claimant's employment on 14 August 2023.
The tribunal ordered a statutory redundancy payment of £13,750.00 gross, calculated as 27.5 weeks at a gross weekly wage of £500.00. The complaint of breach of contract in respect of 12 weeks' notice pay was found well-founded, with £6,000.00 gross ordered, subject to PAYE and National Insurance deductions to be remitted to HMRC.
The claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and breach of contract in respect of wage arrears between January 2017 and 14 August 2023 also succeeded, with £20,000.00 ordered. The judgment records that this sum represents the required tax and National Insurance deductions from the claimant's wages over that period, payable by the respondent to HMRC, with the respondent to account to the claimant for any such payment.

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.
