Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Vowles entered judgment under Rule 21 after the respondent, Andrew Dean t/a Ardent, failed to present a response. The tribunal therefore entered judgment in favour of Ms K Morgan on liability and found that she had been unfairly dismissed, wrongfully dismissed, subjected to unauthorised deductions from wages, and not given a written statement of employment particulars or pay statements. It also found that she was owed holiday pay.
The judgment further recorded that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice. No compensation was fixed in this decision. Instead, the claimant was directed within 21 days to file a statement setting out her claim in monetary terms, including mitigation and current earnings, and the case was listed for a three-hour remedy hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone.

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.
