Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented at the Watford Employment Tribunal on 18 April 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time and Employment Judge Shastri-Hurst made a determination under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure (default judgment).
The Tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages in December 2024 and January 2025, dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice, and failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement.
The respondent was ordered to pay £1,040.76 (December deductions), £2,307.60 (January deductions), £483 (notice damages) and £115.38 (holiday pay), giving a total of £3,946.74.

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.
