Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Watford Employment Tribunals on 18 August 2022. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Postle decided that a determination could properly be made under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal declared that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £3,800.01 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract and awarded £17,538.48 in damages in lieu of 12 weeks’ notice.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £17,130. The total monetary award recorded in the judgment is £38,468.49.

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.
