Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the telephone hearing on 22 November 2022, Tribunal Judge Overton, acting as an Employment Judge, substituted The Workshop Coffee House Ltd as respondent under rule 34 and converted the preliminary hearing to a final hearing under rule 48. Because the respondent had not responded, the claimant’s claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid accrued untaken holiday, wrongful dismissal, automatic unfair dismissal, and pregnancy discrimination succeeded under rule 21.
On remedy, the judgment records £234.36 for wrongful dismissal notice pay and a combined award for the wages/holiday head, with paragraph 3 stating £216.41 and the remedy table recording £216.14 for the same head. For automatic unfair dismissal, the tribunal calculated a compensatory award of £7,968.24 for 34 weeks, added a 10% ACAS uplift of £796.82, and recorded a prescribed element of £8,765.06. The total amount of award was £9,215.56, and recoupment applied because the claimant was in receipt of benefits in the prescribed period. Compensation for pregnancy discrimination was left to a separate remedies hearing listed for 12 December 2022.

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.
