Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment because no response had been presented. On the available material, Employment Judge M Kearns found that the respondent, Nova Botanics, had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £153 gross, described as 15 hours' pay.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £244.80 gross, described as one week's pay. A further finding was made that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement, with an order to pay £163.20 gross, described as two days' holiday pay.
The judgment included the usual direction that the respondent was at liberty to deduct income tax and employee National Insurance contributions, if required by law, before payment and to remit any deducted sums to HMRC. The judgment date was 6 September 2022 and it was entered in the register on 9 September 2022.

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.
