Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningSitting at London Central by CVP on 22 January 2026, Employment Judge Heydon proceeded under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because no response had been received from the respondent. The claimant represented himself and the respondent did not appear.
The sex discrimination complaint was dismissed on its withdrawal. The complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages and of holiday pay were both well-founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £34,219.79 (which includes contractual interest of £26,263.41 calculated at 1% per day) in respect of unauthorised deductions for January to April 2025, and £2,415.50 in respect of accrued but untaken holidays.
The respondent was further ordered to pay £972.56 to compensate the claimant for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deductions. The total payable to the claimant was £37,607.85.

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.
