Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment. The respondent, Auto Turned Products (Northants) Limited (CVA), failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Ord decided that a determination could properly be made under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints of unlawful deductions from wages in the sum of £5,441.65, breach of contract in respect of notice pay in the sum of £11,634.62, redundancy pay in the sum of £4,421.11, and holiday pay for accrued annual leave in the sum of £4,421.11. It also recorded that the claimant was entitled to a car allowance of £400, treated here as a separate breach of contract award.
The total sum due was £30,462.68. The judgment records that the claimant had already received £14,658.40 through the Redundancy Payment Scheme, leaving £15,803.98 for which judgment was entered.

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.
