EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100409/2020 Miss A Jones
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued a judgment on the available material under rule 21. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £990.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £660. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,848.
The complaint of unfair dismissal also succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £16,392 in relation to that complaint. The judgment does not set out any further reasoning, legal tests, or a split between heads of loss beyond the amounts stated.

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.
