Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Watford on 7 July 2023, Employment Judge Skehan heard the case. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal stated that the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract and unauthorised deduction from wages were successful, and that the disability discrimination claim was unsuccessful and dismissed.
The unfair dismissal award comprised a basic award of £726.89, a compensatory award of £2,100 and a loss of statutory rights award of £325. The written record also recorded £484.59 for unpaid statutory minimum notice, £99.35 for unpaid statutory sick pay, £905 for unpaid accrued but untaken holiday entitlement, and £323.06 for failure to provide a written statement of initial employment particulars.
The respondent was ordered to pay £4,963.89 gross within 14 days of the judgment. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
