Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claim, so Employment Judge Frances Eccles issued judgment under Rule 21 on the available material. The hearing listed for 7 June 2017 was cancelled, and the judgment was entered on 5 June 2017.
The tribunal found that Open Learning College Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £2,403.80. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and awarded £5,288.36, being 11 weeks at £480.76 per week.
The tribunal further found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,706, calculated as 14 weeks at £479 per week. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,153.80. The combined monetary award on the judgment totals £15,551.96.

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.
