Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal entered judgment for the claimant under Rule 21 because LPsdt Limited did not enter a response. On that basis, the tribunal awarded the claimant £1,930.08 in respect of unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered the respondent to pay that sum.

The tribunal also found that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,050, calculated as 2 weeks at the statutory maximum weekly pay of £525. The judgment therefore ordered payment of both sums, giving a total award of £2,980.08.

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.
