Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Carpenter heard this case at the East London Hearing Centre by CVP on 21 March 2025. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent, BAGS E2 Limited (in voluntary liquidation), did not attend. The tribunal determined three complaints arising out of the end of the claimant's employment.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 12 July 2024 to 11 August 2024 was well-founded, and the respondent was ordered to pay £535.50 gross. The complaint of breach of contract in respect of notice pay was also well-founded, with damages of £640 calculated on a gross basis to reflect the likelihood of tax as Post Employment Notice Pay. The complaint in respect of holiday pay was well-founded on the basis that the respondent had failed to pay for holidays accrued but not taken on the date employment ended, and the respondent was ordered to pay £224.
The total amount payable by the respondent to the claimant is £1,399.50. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested in accordance with the standard 14-day rule.

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.
