Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Watford Employment Tribunal on 30 January 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and the Employment Judge determined under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 that the claim could properly be decided without a hearing on the merits.
On the substance, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £10,885.26, comprising £2,428.14 for unauthorised deductions, £2,416.32 in damages for breach of contract in respect of notice, £5,436.72 as a redundancy payment, and £604.08 for unpaid holiday entitlement.

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.
