Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented to the Employment Tribunal on 22 April 2025. The Respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Corrigan determined that a determination could properly be made of the claim, or part of it, under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure without a hearing. The Respondent's name was confirmed as Caskaway Taverns Ltd t/a Thomas Becket Pub.
The Tribunal found that the Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages of £566.28 gross (subject to tax/NI adjustments), that the Claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice with damages of £602.48 (2 weeks' average pay of £669.94 less 2 weeks of universal credit of £67.46), and that the Respondent had failed to pay holiday entitlement of £1,887.60 gross (£11.44 x 165 hours accrued).
The total ordered to be paid at this stage was £3,056.36 (subject to tax and NI adjustments). A further hearing was retained on 28 January 2026 to determine the wages deducted for week 43, whether two further weeks of notice should be awarded, and whether the Claimant was unfairly dismissed and any associated award. Recoupment will apply for the Universal Credit period.

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.
