Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 16 May 2025 against Baltic Bakehouse Limited (in creditors' voluntary liquidation). The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Leach determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure on 13 January 2026.
The Tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages (£981.25 gross), had dismissed the claimant in breach of contract in respect of notice (damages of £2,307.50, calculated on a gross basis to reflect Post Employment Notice Pay treatment), and had failed to pay accrued but untaken annual leave on termination (£656.25 gross). The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £3,945.00 in total.

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.
