Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 default judgment in which Employment Judge Tynan recorded five successful claims brought by Mr M Payne against Cambridge Classics Ltd. The tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £2,500 gross.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,090 net damages. It further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,569.50.
In addition, the tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,846.15 gross. The unfair dismissal claim also succeeded, but the judgment did not determine the remedy for that claim, stating that it would be dealt with at a Remedy Hearing.

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.
