Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge proceeded under Rule 21 on the available material. The claim form was sent to the respondent on 24 May 2018, but no response was entered by 21 June 2018 or at all. The judge decided liability could properly be determined without a hearing.
On the material before the tribunal, the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for February and March 2018. The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement.
Remedy was determined on the basis of the claimant's reply dated 28 June 2018 to an order requiring full details of the sums claimed. The tribunal awarded £5,833.34 for the wage deduction, £2,916.67 for notice pay, and £2,916.67 for holiday entitlement, making a total award of £11,666.68. The final hearing listed for 1 August 2018 was cancelled.

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.
