Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 21 March 2024. The respondent, Connaught Coffee Limited, failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Midgley determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure on the basis of the material before the tribunal.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages (£77.22 gross) and had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement (£60.57 gross). It also found that the respondent had failed to provide written particulars of employment and ordered payment of two weeks' pay of £663.52 gross in respect of that failure.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £801.31 in total. The judgment was approved by Employment Judge Midgley on 6 November 2025 and sent to the parties on 25 November 2025.

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.
