Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the tribunal made a determination under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages, dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, failed to pay accrued but untaken annual leave on termination, and failed to comply with regulation 13 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006.
The tribunal ordered gross payments of £1,331.24 for the unlawful deduction from wages claim, £1,331.24 for breach of contract, £549.00 for unpaid annual leave, and £4,326.53 for the TUPE claim. It recorded that the respondent must pay the claimant £7,538.01 in total. No award was made for redundancy because the claim form stated that the claimant did not have the necessary qualifying service of two years, and the claimant did not respond when given the opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on that issue; that claim was struck out. The hearing listed for 19 February 2025 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.
