In person For v Non-attendance — 2022

At Watford Tribunal Centre on 2 December 2022, Employment Judge Douse sat alone. The respondent did not attend. The written record states that the tribunal found Mr N. Abbas was unfairly dismissed, that Squizzas! Ltd unlawfully deducted wages, and that it failed to pay notice pay. It also states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no full written reasons would follow unless requested.

On remedy, the tribunal ordered a basic award of £1,352 gross and a compensatory award of £5,762 net for unfair dismissal. The schedule says the compensatory figure was based on 26 weeks at the net statutory cap of £508 per week, less £5,756 earnings during the mitigation period, and it records £250 for loss of statutory rights. The tribunal also ordered £1,016 net for two weeks' notice pay and £2,928 gross for unpaid wages, with the judgment stating that gross sums could be met by deduction and payment of tax and national insurance. The extracted text renders paragraph 5 as £2,501, so the relationship between that figure and the schedule is unclear.
