Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the final hearing on 20 October 2021 before Employment Judge Ian McPherson, the parties clarified the issues as unfair dismissal under section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, unlawful deduction from wages under section 13, and failure to provide written particulars of employment under section 1. No evidence was heard, and the tribunal stated that no findings in fact were required.
After an adjournment for confidential discussions, the parties produced a written agreement and asked the tribunal to make a consent judgment under Rule 64. The tribunal recorded that the whole claim would be dismissed without admission of liability in full and final settlement for £18,000.
The settlement terms provided for payment by an initial BACS transfer of £5,000 by 5 November 2021, followed by 11 monthly payments of £1,083 and a final payment of £1,087, with the first monthly instalment due by 5 December 2021 and each later instalment by the fifth day of the month. The claimant also consented to withdrawal of the whole claim and dismissal under Rules 51 and 52 once the full amount had been paid, and the hearing listed for 21 October 2021 was discharged.

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.
