Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard at Watford by video on 16 October 2024 before Regional Employment Judge Foxwell. The respondent, Plymouth Rock Technologies Limited in creditors voluntary liquidation, failed to submit a response and did not appear. The tribunal therefore determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages and ordered it to pay the gross sum of £42,363.91. It also found that the respondent was in breach of contract because it had failed to make pension contributions on behalf of the claimant, and it ordered damages of £1,270.92 for that breach.

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.
