Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 after receiving a statement from the joint liquidators of the respondent that no part of the claim was contested. On the available material, Employment Judge J d'Inverno was satisfied that a determination could properly be made on paper.
The tribunal held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. It awarded £3,264.00 as a basic award and £89,793.00 as a compensatory award, made up of £450.00 for loss of statutory rights, £74,793.00 for past loss of earnings, and £14,500.00 for future loss of earnings.
The tribunal also held that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £47,689.15, subject to National Insurance and income tax. That sum comprised £11,062.50 for accrued but untaken annual leave at termination, £30,251.65 for deductions from contractual pay between 21 April 2020 and January 2021, and £6,375.00 for deduction of car allowance.
The tribunal further held that the respondent breached the claimant's contract of employment and ordered payment of £22,214.66. That sum comprised £13,000.00 for unpaid pension contributions and £9,214.66 for seven weeks' payment in lieu of notice.

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.
