Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Leeds Employment Tribunals on 22 April 2024. The respondent, Little House of Tapas Restaurants Ltd (in creditors voluntary liquidation), failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The judgment ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the gross sum of £2,208.33. The hearing listed for 12 November 2024 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.
