Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment after no response to the claim had been filed. The tribunal found that Concept Kitchens Islington Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Miss J. Duffy's wages by failing to pay wages for 1 to 19 December 2018, described as 2.6 weeks, and ordered payment of £1,200 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It awarded £2,000 gross in damages, recording that £461.50 of that sum represented one week's statutory notice.
A further finding was made that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement. On the tribunal's calculation, the claimant had worked 24 weeks before termination, had a pro rata entitlement of 12.9 days, had taken 9 days, and was therefore owed 3.9 days at £92.30 per day, amounting to £359.97. The total sums ordered were £1,200, £2,000 and £359.97.

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.
