Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued a Rule 21 judgment on the available material. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages and ordered Brunch Café to pay £570.80.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £68.90. The hearing listed for 29 November 2017 was cancelled.
The judgment records that the claimant had paid fees in connection with the claim and, following the Supreme Court decision in R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor [2017] UKSC 51, those fees were to be refunded by HMCTS under its repayment scheme.

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.
