Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Newcastle Employment Tribunals on 22 October 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal recorded four successful monetary claims. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £1,773.20 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £5,148.00 gross in damages.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £6,649.50. Separately, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,201.29 gross.
The hearing listed for 12 February 2025 was cancelled. The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £14,771.99 gross.

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.
