Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response in time, and the Tribunal proceeded to determine the claims under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024. The Tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded and ordered payment of £920.92 gross for unpaid wages in June and July 2024.
The Tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages of £1,098.24 gross. It also held that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £274.56 after crediting £1,372.80 received from the Insolvency Service.
Finally, the Tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's annual leave entitlement on termination and ordered payment of £18.49 gross after crediting £317.27 received from the Insolvency Service. The total gross sum ordered was £2,312.21.

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.
