Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote video hearing in Watford on 24 and 25 March 2021, Employment Judge Skehan found the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages contrary to section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 and his breach of contract complaint to be well founded and successful. The respondent, SVM Consulting Engineers Limited, was ordered to pay £17,871.84 within 28 days.
The tribunal recorded that the total sum comprised £9,807.72 for unpaid salary between 18 February 2019 and 29 March 2019, £7,083.35 described as damages for wrongful dismissal relating to the claimant's one month notice period, and £980.77 for accrued but untaken holiday entitlement. The awards were stated gross, and the claimant was responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions that might become due.
The claims for failure to provide initial employment particulars under section 1 Employment Rights Act 1996 and for an itemised pay statement under section 8 Employment Rights Act 1996 were withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed.

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.
