Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningStephen Smith brought claims of unauthorised deductions from wages and a statutory redundancy payment against Total Home Delivery Limited.

The Tribunal found the unauthorised deductions claim under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 well-founded, ordering the respondent to pay £2,221.13 gross for unpaid wages and £3,849.98 gross for accrued holiday unpaid on termination. The redundancy payment claim under s.135 Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £17,150 calculated under s.162 of the Act.

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.
