Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time and the Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. On that basis the tribunal proceeded to determine the claimant's complaints without a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £2,242.57 gross. It further found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £4,200.00 in damages calculated as 7 weeks' notice at £600.00 per week reflecting 7 full years' service.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £6,300.00, calculated on 7 full years' service at £600 per week multiplied by 1.5. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £12,742.57 in total.

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.
