Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBecause the respondent did not present a response within the relevant time limit, the tribunal entered judgment in default under Rule 22 and Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judgment was approved by Employment Judge Othen on 12 February 2025 and sent to the parties on 21 February 2025.
The tribunal ordered payment of £1,560 gross for an unauthorised deduction from wages, £425 in respect of expenses incurred but not paid, £480 in damages for dismissal in breach of contract in respect of notice, and £720 gross for unpaid holiday entitlement. The total sum payable by the respondent to Amber Pritchard was £3,185.
The judgment states that the sums above were gross amounts and that the respondent was responsible for deductions of any income tax and National Insurance contributions on the amount payable.

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.
