Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Quill, sitting alone at Watford, heard the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages (case 3311847/2023) and the respondent employer's contract claim (case 3311480/2024) on 8 July 2025. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent, which is in voluntary liquidation, did not appear or make submissions. The tribunal found the wages complaint well-founded, holding that the respondent was obliged to pay £2,877.66 gross (£2,130.08 net after PAYE, pension and Student loan) in September 2023 and failed to pay anything.
The respondent was ordered to pay the gross sum of £2,877.66, with the judgment to be satisfied by payment of the net sum of £2,130.08 only if the respondent properly accounts to the appropriate third parties for the PAYE, pension and Student loan figures identified in the payslip, and without any other deduction or set off.
On the employer's contract claim, the tribunal treated an email sent by one of the respondent's directors on 18 November 2024 as bringing that claim to an end, and dismissed it on withdrawal. In the alternative, the tribunal dismissed the employer's contract claim under Rule 47.

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.
