Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningUnder Rule 21, Employment Judge Heal Date found that Mr A. Rothwell's claim against The Plumbing Team Ltd succeeded on the papers. The tribunal held that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £1,609.16 for 12 days from 1 August to 16 August 2019 after crediting £236.44 already paid, £1,538.00 for 10 days worked 'in hand' at the start of employment and not paid at the end, £65 for a parking ticket paid late by the respondent, £300 deducted for ceiling damage, and £200 deducted for material not returned.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement and awarded £1,461.11 for 9.5 days at the daily rate stated in the judgment. It further held that Mr Rothwell was dismissed in breach of contract because he was dismissed without one week's statutory notice, and awarded £596.75 net damages. The total awards recorded in the judgment come to £5,770.02.
Claims and outcomes
3 findings recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | Award comprised £1,609.16 for 12 days from 1 August to 16 August 2019 after crediting £236.44 paid, £1,538.00 for 10 days worked 'in hand' at the start of employment and not paid at the end, £65 for a parking ticket paid late by the respondent, £300 deducted for ceiling damage, and £200 deducted for material not returned. | Upheld | — | £3,712 |
| Holiday pay | The extracted text states '9.5 days at 3153.80 per day'; this appears to be a formatting omission and is read as £153.80 per day because that matches the stated award. | Upheld | — | £1,461 |
| Breach of contract | Damages awarded for dismissal without one week's statutory notice, stated as net. | Upheld | — | £597 |

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.
