Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Cambridge via CVP on 4 July 2025 before Employment Judge de Silva KC. The Respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the written reasons would not be provided because reasons had been given orally at the hearing unless a request was made within 14 days of the decision being sent to the parties.
The tribunal held that the Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was well-founded, but it also stated that the Claimant was not entitled to compensation for that dismissal. No separate monetary amount was awarded under the unfair dismissal finding.
The tribunal further found that there had been an unlawful deduction of wages in relation to salary up to 22 December 2023 and ordered payment of £740.36. It also upheld a breach of contract claim in relation to notice pay and ordered £4,614.24.
In addition, the tribunal upheld a protective award claim and ordered payment in respect of a protected period of 90 days, identified as the period between 22 December 2023 and 21 March 2024. The amount ordered for that protective award was £8,580.06, bringing the total monetary award recorded in the judgment to £13,934.66.

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.
